The channel 4 license first belonged to WHLC, an independent station that signed on December 3, 1951. it was unsuccessful, ending 3 months later on March 4, 1952.

WFNS
The station signed on again June 4, 1953, an affiliate of the RKO network. It was more successful than WHLC, having a news team unlike the last station, and having better programming, such as The Von Mark Show. However, the channel went on a decline in the late 1950's, with the news team staff mostly fired in 1956. The station then got bought by businessman Gerald Fred in 1957. The station got better ratings.

Troubles
WHLC was having an issue when the 1960s came. Fred had announced that the station was having issues. It had moved transmitters thrice in the year 1961. Also, the stations' transmitters got blown up on August 18,1963. However, the station got bought by dubois in June of 1965. The rest of the 60's and 70's were normal.

Hijacking
on March 30, 1976 at 3:45 AM, the station was hijacked for 1 hour. It showed this:

"greetings"

"from dickhead"

"no more whlc now!"



"MUAHAHAHA!!!!!"

Viewers from the area called the offices. a man named Hombre Queco was arrested. Queco was guilty of broadcast intrusion.

New millennium, New problems
The 2000's was a bust for WHLC. In 2001, WHLC ended up being sold to Holo Corp. because of sales. On October 9, 2002 at 4:34 PM, a fire broke out at the studios. WHLC programming was interrupted with a test screen until 6:43 PM. The rest of the 2000's were okay for the station.

Analog sign off
On June 12, 2009, the analog feed of WHLC was cut short at the end of a Simpsons episode Blame it on Lisa, when the programming was changed to a loop of a news team member saying information of what happened. This was broadcasting until July 5, 2009 at 1:30 PM, when it was replaced by a promo for a new TV series, "The Cleveland Show". this continued until 2:09 PM, when static showed.

Today
The station is still thriving.
