WHTN, channel 39, is a not-for-profit television station licensed to Murfreesboro, Tennessee that serves the Nashville market. It is owned by Clearwater, Florida-based Christian Television Network. WHTN offers 24-hour religious programming, much of which is produced either locally or at the CTN home base in Florida. WHTN's studios are currently located in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee.

History

WHTN signed on as WFYZ in 1983 with a general entertainment format featuring cartoons, sitcoms, movies, and music videos. It was originally owned by Murfreesboro TV Corporation. In 1984, lacking the resources to grow and admist signal problems in parts of Nashville, the station's management realized it was unable to compete against other independent stations Channel 30 (WCAY, then owned by TVX, Inc.) and Channel 17 (WZTV-TV, then owned by Multimedia). By 1985, the station shifted to a 24-hour music video format. Later in 1985, the station was sold to CTN and flipped to an all-religious format.
