WTLE-LP

WTLE-LP is a low-power UPN affiliate in the Fort Myers-Naples, Florida television market. Broadcasting on channel 13, the station is owned and operated by Flinn Broadcasting. The station was licensed in Fort Myers. The station launched in 1995 by Paxson Communications and was a Pax-TV affiliate. In 2003, the station was sold to Tiger Eye Broadcasting, and about 3 years later, it was sold to Equity Media Holdings. In 2006, the station left Pax-TV (which at that point became Ion Television) and affiliated with Telefutura.

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. Equity Media Holdings has been in chapter 11 bankruptcy since December 2008 and offers by Luken Communications to acquire Equity-owned stations in six markets have since been withdrawn.

Silver Point Capital acquired WTLE at auction on April 16, 2009. The sale closed on August 17, 2009.

Three days before the completion of the sale to Silver Point, WTLE was taken silent. On March 10, 2011, Silver Point Capital sold the station to Flinn Broadcasting, who upgraded the station and resume broadcasting, this time as an affiliate of UPN. And in 2015, WTLE-LP launched their prime-time newscast.
