WDEU-LD

Not to be confused with KDEU-CD
 (Channel 39) is a low-power television station licensed to Naples, Florida serving the Fort Meyers DMA. It is an independent station airing German-language programming under the banner "GermanTV". It is owned and operated by BIG Media, and a modified version of GermanTV is relayed on multiple Big Media station subchannels. 
GermanTV airs many programs in the German language, including movies, TV shows, game shows, newscasts and concerts of German-language bands; with closed captioning in English.
==History==
W39IE signed on July 19th, 1989 as an affiliate of The Video Jukebox network (later The Box), airing music videos. This aired until 2001, when Viacom bought The Box and the station, now called WSHX-LP, converted to a MTV2 station. 
In 2003, WSHX-LP was bought by a local businessman and would later switch to HSN, 
In 2006, the station was bought by a married couple from Bremen, Germany who immigrated to Naples, Florida in 2000. They would slowly replace the HSN schedule with German-language shows and movies, until December 2007, when the newly re-christened station WDEU-LP formally launched the GermanTV branding. In 2009, the station would start broadcasting games from the German Football League, which continues to this day. 
WDEU-LP would be bought by BIG Media in 2014. GermanTV would go nation-wide on BIG Media station sub-channels and on C-band satellite later that year. 
==Programming==
As GermanTV, WDEU-LD airs various German-language programs, with many of them sourced from Deutsche Welle. This includes broadcasts of games from the German Bundesliga association soccer league and of the gridiron German Football League. In the overnight hours, GermanTV airs paid programs and public-domain movies.
