A Florida Panhandle LPTV Duo Heading To New Owner

Up by the Apalachicola River and on the southern shore of Dead Lakes is the tiny town of Wewahitchka, Fla., population 2,074 and growing. It’s east of Panama City and to the northeast of suddenly popular Mexico Beach, an Airbnb hub.

Then, there is Defuniak Springs, Fla., roughly 40 miles north of the Fort Walton Beach-Destin, Fla., area.

Two digital low-power TV stations licensed to these towns have attracted the attention of a buyer. The FCC’s approval awaits.
