WTLE-LP was a low-power television station in the Fort Myers-Naples, Florida television market. It was licensed in Fort Myers, owned by Silver Point Capital, and operates on UHF channel 18, with no digital signal. The station has, in the past, carried programming from the Pax network;[1] it has also been a repeater for sister Univision affiliate WUVF-LP. The station subsequently affiliated with Telefutura.
WTLE has previously been owned by Paxson Communications,[2] Tiger Eye Broadcasting,[1][2] and Equity Media Holdings.[1]
On April 4, 2008, Equity announced the sale of all five of its Southwest Florida stations (including WTLE) to Luken Communications, LLC for $8 million. Equity has cited corporate financial losses as a reason for the sale. ([1])
Equity Media Holdings has been in chapter 11 bankruptcy since December 2008[3] and offers by Luken Communications to acquire Equity-owned stations in six markets have since been withdrawn.[4]
Silver Point Capital acquired WTLE at auction on April 16, 2009.[5] The sale closed on August 17, 2009.[6]
Three days before the completion of the sale to Silver Point, WTLE was taken silent.[7] On March 10, 2011, its license was cancelled by the FCC, and its call sign was deleted from the FCC's database.[citation needed]
