History

Early history

Prior to WMYT's sign-on, the UHF channel 55 allocation had previously belonged to a Rock Hill-based low-powered repeater of PBS member network South Carolina Educational Television from 1974 to 1978, when SCETV programming moved to a full-powered satellite station, WNSC-TV on channel 30.
