WMUT-TV, channel 8, is a MCTV-affiliated station licensed to Mattupolis, Mattula. It is owned by E-Media as part of a duopoly with ENetwork owned-and-operated station WEIM-TV (channel 3).
== History ==
=== WMUT-TV Channel 10 ===
WMUT-TV signed on as an independent station on channel 10. They were owned by The Mattupolis News through its broadcasting arm, Mattupolis Television, which owned WMUT radio until 1979. Those stations became WMTL radio.
In 1989, the station became a charter affiliate of the ITV Network when it launched the same year.
In 1993, the News sold the station to the Bonneville International Corporation based off Salt Lake City.
In 2000, Bonneville sold the station to WNT Broadcasting Limited, the forerunner to the GamerCraft Broadcast Group and the owner of WNT-TV in Gameria City.
=== The current WMUT-TV ===
The current license started out as low-power WHSN-CA, owned by the Home Shopping Network, on channel 8, a frequency allocated by the FCC for full-power purposes.
WHSN was acquired by WNTBL in 2000 and filed to the FCC to close down the WHSN unit and delete the WHSN license. The joke was WHSN's transmission unit closed on February 9, 2001 with WMUT taking over the next day, but instead changed the WHSN license's call letters to WMUT and deleted the old channel 10 license. The new WMUT inherited the ITV affiliation from the closed down channel 10.
The station gained sister stations in 2003 when WNT took over operations of NBC affiliate WMMN-TV (channel 9) and then-UPN affiliate WMMT (channel 50) through a local marketing agreement (LMA) with Craftsman Broadcasting, which would be acquired by the group later on which led to the sale of WMUT.
=== Minecraft Television; sale to E-Media and duopoly with WEIM-TV ===
In 2018, to prepare for the new MCTV network, WMUT went disaffiliated from ITV and moved the network to its DT2 subchannel. On January 2019, MCTV was launched and WMUT became a charter owned-and-operated station of the network.
On May 27, 2019, GBG sold MCTV and stations, but not WMUT, to Manila-based Trinome Media. Thus, the station lost its O&O status. The next day, GBG bought Craftsman, which forced the sale of WMUT to E-Media, owners of WEIM-TV (channel 3), to avoid conflicts of ownership. While the sale of the station was still ongoing, E-Media already took over operations until the sale's closure.
