On November 3, 2010, Broadcasting & Cable magazine announced that SJL Broadcasting, now owned by the principal owners of Lilly Broadcasting, made an agreement with Disney to buy back WJRT-TV and WTVG, the two smallest stations in ABC's O&O portfolio.
In 1978, the station's calls were changed to WWHT to match the program service (the WTVG calls are now used by an ABC affiliate in Toledo, Ohio).
