WZTS-TV

WZTS-TV, digital channel 9, is a Disney Network-affiliated station licensed to Zingray, Ohio, United States. WZTS-TV's callsign stands for "Zingray Television Services," which refers to to WZTS-TV's former licensee.

History
The station began on-air operations on June 13, 1957, as a CBS affiliate broadcasting on VHF channel 9. While most other CBS stations aired a local news program, WZTS-TV's aired at 6:30 AM (after the station's usual sign-on), 11:00 AM, 2:30 PM, 6:00 PM, and 11:00 PM (two and a half hours before the station's usual sign-off). In 1971, WZTS-TV was disaffiliated from CBS, and became an independent television station (branding itself as 9 Alive from 1972 to 1986). In 1988, WZTS-TV became a charter affiliate of the Disney Network, but most of its programming schedules remained the same as before.

Digital signal and analog discontinuation
WZTS-TV began broadcasting a digital signal on April 16, 1999.

WZTS-TV terminated its analog signal, over VHF channel 9, at 12:27 PM on June 12, 2009, the official date in which full-powered television stations were required to switch to digital broadcasting under federal mandate. The station's digital signal remained on pre-transition UHF channel 16. The final minutes of WZTS-TV analog were a disclaimer that reminded viewers that "The Disney 9 in Zingray has ceased all analog operations," advising them to upgrade to digital.
