History
WTHL-TV signed-on for the first time on October 11, 1955 on VHF analog channel 10 in Forest Town as Trishel's first television station (prior to Trishel being assigned with "K" callsigns, hence it's "W" callsign). It carried programming from all three networks as well as NET, but has always been a primary ABC affiliate.

Despite being affiliated with four networks, WTHL was hindered by time zone and location differences, and most shows, especially those from the networks, were sent via air mail, which meant that viewers would have to wait from a period of two weeks to a month to see any of the offerings. When not showing network fare, WTHL showed programming from West El Kadsre's EKTV (now El TV Kadsre 1) served via microwave as well as locally-produced programming, syndicated shows and films (mostly travel, educational or cultural).

WTHL would lose it's public television programming, then provided by PBS, to territory-controlled KTEB-TV when it signed-on in 1971. It then lost NBC to KEKI when it signed-on in mid-1975, and CBS to KNOH-TV in 1980. WTHL added Fox programming upon the network's launch, but lost Fox to K14FT (now KEKI-CD) in 1990.

The station was bought by Jay Vermaak in 1982 (his company, Vision Kansas, also controls independent station KCSV-TV in, along with various radio stations in Kansas, and Trishel). In 2004, the facilities of the Trishel properties of Vision Kansas were moved from South Forest Town to Forest Town proper.
