homepage =WTMO-CA is a low-power station serving the
Orlando, Florida television market. The station is owned byZGS Communications , and serves as the market'sTelemundo affiliate. It broadcasts on UHF channel 31, and is licensed as a class A station. WTMO is repeated on WKME-CA (channel 15) in Kissimmee, WDYB-LP (channel 28) in Daytona Beach, and WMVJ-LP (channel 29) in Melbourne.Until
February 9 ,2007 , WTMO's primary signal (as WTMO-LP) was the WKME transmitter. Until early 2006 at the latest, it was located on channel 40, but moved to channel 15 shortly beforeWACX signed on its digital signal on channel 40. Based in Kissimmee, this signal is far enough away with a directional pattern towards Kissimmee, so it would not interfere withWCEU , which also broadcasts on channel 15. As a result, channel 15's coverage area only covers Kissimmee, forcing WTMO to reach the rest of the Orlando area via cable. In late 2006, ZGS acquired WDYB, WMVJ, and the channel 31 license (then WPXG-LP) fromTiger Eye Broadcasting to expand WTMO's over-the-air reach.
