History [ ]
Launched March 2, 1993, W20BE on channel 20 went defunct within six months.[2] The license was reactivated on September 27, 1995, becoming W20BE once more. What followed was a move to channel 27 as W27BS on January 9, 1997; and an attempt to move to channel 61, which would have made the station W61DD – the same day the change was made in FCC records on July 1, 1999; the calls changed again to W31CD and the station moved to channel 31. On May 31, 2000, W31CD became WPMF-LP , and a year later, WPMF received a class A television license (though its calls retained the -LP suffix). The station received its license to broadcast digitally on January 3, 2014, at which point the call sign changed to WPMF-CD .
WPMF-LP joined Azteca América in November 2002.[3] In 2011, it switched to My Family TV, which became The Family Channel in 2013. On November 1, 2017, WPMF-CD rejoined Azteca América, replacing WGEN-TV (channel 8).[4]
The station changed its call sign to WBEH-CD on November 9, 2018.
The station was owned Prime Time Partners at the time, but was sold to HC2 Holdings in June 2019, along with WSPF-CD .[5]
