History
The station started on channel 56 in 1996. In 2000, the Wiley family purchased the station; it was added to the local Charter cable system, increasing its reach and making it available to cable households for the first time.[1] Two years later, the station began broadcasting Decatur city council and Morgan County Commission meetings, which it continued to do through 2016.[2] It also aired high school sports and a local talk show, Valley Happenings; the station had seven live programs, including one in Spanish, by 2004.Template:R
In 2022, the Wileys announced their intention to retire after selling WYAM radio and television, which were listed for $3.4 million.[3]
