WMMN-TV

WMMN-TV, virtual channel 9 (UHF digital channel 19), is an NBC-affiliated television licensed to Mattupolis, Mattula, United States. The station is owned by the GamerCraft Broadcast Group subsidiary of GamerCraft, as part of a duopoly with Mattula Beach-licensed MyNetworkTV affiliate WMMT (channel 50, which WMMN simulcasts on its second subchannel). The two stations share studios on the Mattupolis Bay Studios in Mattupolis; the two stations share the studios with former LMA sister station and ITV affiliate WMUT-TV (channel 8), which GamerCraft had to sell to purchase WMMN-TV's parent company and LMA partner Craftsman Media.

History
In New Years Day, 1949, channel 9 signed-on as WMTP-TV. It was owned by United Independent Broadcasters II, a company founded by New York City talent-agent Arthur Judson as its second incarnation since William S. Paley purchased the first one in September 1927 and became CBS. UIB II purchased WMTP radio (850 AM and 95.1 FM, now WXCV)

The station became a primary ABC affiliate, owing to WMTP radio's affiliation with the (NBC) Blue Network, and also carried secondary affiliations with NBC, CBS, and DuMont. When WMLA-TV (channel 2, now a CBS affiliate) signed-on in 1954 and took the NBC affiliation (owing to WMLA radio's affiliation with NBC Red), WMTP-TV shared ABC with that station until WGER-TV (channel 7) signed-on in 1957 and took the ABC affiliation, owing to WMTP radio's displacement by WGER as the ABC Radio affiliate. The affiliation with DuMont ended in 1955 when DuMont stopped airing of new episodes of shows; the network ceased operations in 1956. The station also took a secondary affiliation with the NTA Film Network during its run; after it ceased operations, channel 9 became an exclusive CBS affiliate.

Judson closed down UIB II and sold WMTP-AM-FM-TV in 1970 to Craftsman Newspapers, which owned the newspaper The Mattupolis Times, as well as inactive licenses for channel 10 and 1060 kHz. Both construction permits had to be sold to the Mattupolis News Company, which owned competing newspaper The Mattupolis News. The radio license signed on in 1975 as WTMT (the News wanted to link the station to its roots as a license owned by the Times) and the TV license signed on in 1980 as WMUT-TV, which would later move to channel 8 in 2001.

NBC affiliation
In 1979, Kinnan Broadcasting signed a deal with CBS to affiliate its Mattula and Welter stations, including future sister station WSOE-TV in Endreaville, Welter, to the network. Both CBS and Kinnan hesitated at first on struggling flagship WMLA-TV, which itself is an also-ran, and CBS didn't want to leave channel 9, but when Craftsman promised a better news commitment to NBC to improve ratings, CBS accepted the move to channel 2. The switch took place which saw WMTP-TV taking the NBC affiliation and change its callsign to WMMN-TV (taking note of the new affiliation) and WMLA-TV taking the CBS affiliation (it later became a Fox affiliate in 1995, swapping with former repeater WMLC (channel 19), but returned to CBS in 2009, reversing the swap).
