WDHS is a television station in Iron Mountain, Michigan, broadcasting locally on VHF channel 8. WDHS is currently owned by Withers Broadcasting, along with WDTV in Weston-Clarksburg, West Virginia. Currently, WDHS is carrying infomercials from Noon to 6PM ET.

As of 2003, the station was believed to be off the air. It has suffered from long periods of silence in previous years, and it is not currently known if it will be back on the air. The station tended to be on the air only for a short time on an annual basis, merely as a way to keep the license active.

When WDHS is on the air, it can be seen in parts of Baraga, Delta, Dickinson, Florence (WI), Forest (WI), Gobegic, Houghton, Iron, Langlade (WI), Marinette (WI), Marquette, Menominee, Oconto (WI), Oneida (WI), and Vilas (WI) counties in Michigan and in Wisconsin.

History

The first license for channel 8 was issued to Pennsylvania broadcaster John R. Powley in 1983 as WIIM-TV; however, the station was never built.

In 1992, Powley sold the station to the Danny Hood Evangelical Association, who recalled the station as WDHS and broadcasted a religious format, with some shows from TBN. After two years, the station left the air, and was sold due to lack of support.

Danny Hood Evangelistic Association sold the station to current owner Withers Broadcasting, owner of WDTV and, at the time, KREX-TV in Grand Junction, Colorado, both CBS affiliates. However, Withers did very little to the station, other than to sign the station on for a few weeks a year with TBN and, later, EWTN programming, just to keep the license active to avoid cancellation by the FCC. In June 2007, WDHS returned to the air -- this time, carrying infomercials. ( [http://mibuzzboard.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=10659&start=15] )

In May 2007, it was announced that Withers has put WDHS up for sale. ( [http://www.tvnewsday.com/articles/2007/05/08/daily.6/] , [http://mibuzzboard.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=10659] )
