==History==
In 1977, WUTC was founded by some former WDOP employees. In 1991, WUTC played only the Walt Disney Pictures logo 24/7 everytime on a continuous loop between 1991 and 1996 for legal reasons. During 1991 to 1995, the station was losing audience. WUTC occasionally signed off around 12:00 AM from 1977 to 1987 when they started signing off at 11:30 PM. In 1984, the station signed on its news department, their first newscast title was called "Newsline 4". In 1987, the station became "Channel 4 News" until 1991 when the station dropped its newcast due to low ratings and legal reasons. In 1999, the station signed on another newscast called "UTC Newstime" and has been running since then. From the beginning, WUTC has been an Independent station. WUTC was sold to BeloOne, as Smith Broadcasting was exiting broadcasting. It was split up from WDOP. The station had a major makeover, with a new branding, newscast, and news set.
