WTZT-CA, known under the branding ZTV11, is a Class A television station in Athens, Alabama, broadcasting locally on channel 11 as an affiliate of Family Net. Founded on November 2, 1988, the station is owned by Jamie Cooper and wife Gloria, both of whom also host a morning show on the station. Despite its status as a Class A broadcaster, the station can be seen on numerous cable systems in northern Alabama.

Cooper began his broadcasting career with the Huntsville City Schools ETV unit in 1974. Some years later, he began doing human interest features on the newscasts of Huntsville ABC affiliate WAAY-TV (under the name "The Country Rover"). This led to another show on the station in the early 1990s, "WAAY Too Early," a comedy-variety program, which he co-hosted with then-weather anchor Gary Dobbs (who has since returned to WAAY). Cooper later struck out on his own, first brokering the show, now titled "Cooper and Company," to Huntsville's WAFF-TV and later Florence's WOWL-TV (now WHDF). The current version on his station features a variety of music, comedy, sports reports, and cooking segments.

WTZT-CA carries a mix of programming consisting of sports, movies, children's shows, religious programs, classic television reruns, home improvement programs, and a few other variety programs. The station also airs Cooper's "Country Rover" reports from the 1980s, repackaged into an hour of episodes; sometimes other locally produced programs air on ZTV-11 also.

Before Cooper purchased the station, it was owned by Athens Broadcasting, along with WVNN and WZYP radio stations, both longtime properties of the Bill and Mary Dunnavant family.

After owning the station for several years now, Gloria Cooper has branched off into the print industry. Her company, Image Marketing, Inc., publishes magazines such as "Who's Who In Athens," "Limestone County," "Who's Who In Marshall County," "Who's Who In The Shoals" and "Who's Who On The Tennessee River."
