WLYH history
WLYH company history timeline
On November 27, 1964, the WGCB radio stations carried a 15-minute religious broadcast that would spawn a monumental case that ended with Supreme Court's approval of the Fairness Doctrine.
WLYH first signed on the air on April 28, 1979 as WGCB-TV. It was the first completely new station to sign on in South Central Pennsylvania in 26 years.
It was the only over-the-air source of non-network programming in the area until WPMT (channel 43) relaunched as an independent in 1983.
Norris died on September 28, 2008 at the age of 82.
DirecTV ceased carriage of WGCB on January 1, 2009.
On September 19, 2012, NRJ TV (a company unrelated to European broadcaster NRJ Radio) announced its intent to purchase WGCB-TV from Red Lion Television for $9 million; the sale was completed on December 3.
On December 29, 2014, WGCB-TV stopped carrying MeTV programming (as WGAL-DT2 picked up that affiliation) and began carrying select programs from the classic television network Cozi TV, which also began to be carried on digital subchannel 49.2.
NRJ TV agreed to sell WGCB-TV to Red Lion 49 Media, LLC for $2.5 million on August 29, 2017.
The sale was approved by the FCC on December 8, 2017.
On January 17, 2019, it was announced that Sonshine would purchase WLYH from Red Lion 49 Media for $2.7 million.
