Action Station"
News: Telenoticias Orlando
Etc:
This low-power
station based in Kissimmee has been serving
Central Florida's Spanish-speaking residents
since the late 1990s-early 2000s as a Telemundo
affiliate. While its signal is weak, it is
carried on many of the region's cable TV systems
-- expanding the station's reach and influence.
In November 2004, it started its own news shop
and began producing a 6 p.m. newscast.
Station
History: WTMO was the second Spanish-language
station in Central Florida, following
WVEN-Univision 26 (which began as low-power
WVEN-Channel 63). WTMO, based in Kissimmee, used
to have a low-power sister station in Altamonte
Springs, broadcasting on Channel 7. Because
religious station WACX needed channel 40 for its
digital broadcasts, WTMO switched its channel
position from 40 to 15 in 2006. Since it is a
low-power station, being on channel 15 doesn't
interfere with the area's other Channel 15
(WCEU-Daytona Beach PBS).
Digital
subchannel programming: None.
