W16DQ-D, virtual channel 43 (UHF digital channel 16), is a low-power HSN-affiliated television station licensed to Lealman, Florida, United States. The station is owned by HC2 Holdings.
From June 2007 to May 2008, this station affiliated with LAT TV, a Spanish-language network. Since that network folded and until its affiliation with SBN, it is unknown what programming that station offered.
Analog-to-digital conversion[edit]
The station converted to digital in October 2011, flash cutting on channel 43. In 2017, the station moved to channel 16, using the frequency vacated by WUSF-TV in 2009; the station's call letters changed from W43CE-D to W16DQ-D. Through the use of PSIP, the station's virtual channel remains 43.
In June 2013, W43CE-D was slated to be sold to Landover 5 LLC as part of a larger deal involving 51 other low-power television stations;[1] the sale fell through in June 2016.[2] Mako Communications sold its stations, including W43CE-D, to HC2 Holdings in 2017.[3]
