WTLE-LP (channel 18) was a low-power television station in Fort Myers, Florida, United States, which was last affiliated with the Spanish-language network Telefutura (now UniMás). Owned by Silver Point Capital, the station has, in the past, carried programming from Pax TV;[1] it has also been a repeater for sister Univision affiliate WUVF-LP (channel 2).
History
WTLE has previously been owned by Paxson Communications,[2] Tiger Eye Broadcasting,[1][2] and Equity Media Holdings.[1]
On April 4, 2008, Equity announced the sale of all five of its Southwest Florida stations (including WTLE) to Luken Communications, LLC for $8 million. Equity has cited corporate financial losses as a reason for the sale.[3]
Equity Media Holdings has been in Chapter 11 bankruptcy since December 2008[4] and offers by Luken Communications to acquire Equity-owned stations in six markets have since been withdrawn.[5]
Silver Point Capital acquired WTLE at auction on April 16, 2009.[6] The sale closed on August 17, 2009.[7]
Three days before the completion of the sale to Silver Point, WTLE was taken silent.[8] On March 10, 2011, its license was canceled by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and its call sign was deleted from the FCC's database.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
After WTLE's sign-off, the Fort Myers market could only receive Telefutura/UniMás programming via the network's national feed on cable and satellite until 2014, when WUVF-LD signed on a second digital subchannel affiliated with the network.
