  • As the Tri-State area's first television station, it went on-the-air on UHF channel 50 on September 27, 1953 as a CBS affiliate with a secondary ABC affiliation. It was owned by the Malco Theater Corporation of Memphis, Tennessee (minority interest was held by several Henderson businessmen for the first year). Hilberg Packing of Cincinnati bought the station in 1957 and Gilmore bought it in 1964. WEHT dropped ABC in 1956 after WTVW signed-on. With Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approval, the station switched to UHF channel 25 in 1964 soon after Gilmore bought the station. When WTVW moved to Fox in late-1995, WEHT took over the market's ABC affiliation. On August 25, 2008, it became the area's RTV affiliate on DT2. The current "RTV 25" branding debuted on June 12, 2009 as part of Retro Television Network's re-branding from RTN to RTV. The channel was previously known as "RTN TV 25".
