WJMY

WJMY is an owned-and-operated (O&O) station of the Prime Network (Prime TV or Prime). WJMY serves Miami, Florida, the Florida Keys, and South Florida. WJMY broadcasts on channel 5. Before being purchased by Prime Entertainment Group, WJMY was an independent station owned by Monsoon Media.

History
Cashing in on the success of WBAP, Monsoon Media decided to launch a station in New York (WNXT) and Miami. WJMY carried off-network sitcoms, game shows, court shows, and movies. WJMY also carried selected games for the (then) Florida Marlins and the Miami Heat.

Prime Entertainment Group Purchase
Because of the problems of WNXT, Monsoon Media was in debt, and they had no choice but to sell all three of their stations. Meanwhile Meanwhile, Prime Entertainment Group was planning to launch their own network, and they needed a strong core of stations to help get their network off the ground. After careful consideration, Prime bought WJMY from Monsoon Media in 2011. A year later, when the Prime Network was launched, WJMY became an O&O station of Prime.
