WBEH-CD (channel 38) is a low-power, Class A religious television station in Miami, Florida, United States, owned and operated by the Daystar Television Network.
History
Launched March 2, 1993, W20BE on channel 20 went defunct within six months.[a] The license was reactivated on September 27, 1995, becoming W20BE once more. What followed was a move to channel 27 as W27BS on January 9, 1997; and an attempt to move to channel 61, which would have made the station W61DD—the same day the change was made in FCC records on July 1, 1999; the calls changed again to W31CD and the station moved to channel 31. On May 31, 2000, W31CD became WPMF-LP, and a year later, WPMF received a Class A television license (though its calls retained the "-LP" suffix). The station received its license to broadcast digitally on January 3, 2014, at which point the call sign changed to WPMF-CD.
WPMF-LP joined Azteca América in November 2002.[3] In 2011, it switched to My Family TV, which became The Family Channel in 2013. On November 1, 2017, WPMF-CD rejoined Azteca América, replacing WGEN-TV (channel 8).[4] The station changed its call sign to WBEH-CD on November 9, 2018.
HC2 Holdings planned to acquire the station from Prime Time Partners in June 2019, along with WSPF-CD.[5] The sale of WBEH-CD would fall through in 2020; in June 2022, Prime Time Partners would sell the station to the Word of God Fellowship, parent of the Daystar Television Network.[6]
