WTMO-CD

WTMO-CD (channel 31) is a low-power, Class A television station in Orlando, Florida, United States, broadcasting the Spanish-language network Telemundo. Owned and operated by NBCUniversal's Telemundo Station Group, the station has studios at the intersection of Sand Lake Road and Orange Blossom Trail in unincorporated Orange County (using an Orlando mailing address), and its transmitter is located on Lake Sparling Road in Pine Hills. Two additional Class A stations—WKME-CD (channel 21) in Kissimmee and WMVJ-CD (channel 29) in Melbourne—rebroadcast WTMO-CD, and the Telemundo subchannel is also broadcast by full-power WRDQ in Orlando. Telemundo first began broadcasting in Orlando on two low-power stations, W07BZ and W12CD, in 1989. The stations were owned by Timothy Brumlik, who was convicted of felony money laundering in 1990 and fought to retain the stations' licenses. In May 1995, the network moved its affiliation to W40AQ—renamed WTMO-LP—of Kissimmee, which was purchased by ZGS Communications and had a signal closer to more Central Florida Hispanics at the time. Under ZGS, in 2004, the station began producing local newscasts. It moved to the present facility in 2007 and was acquired by NBC along with ZGS's other television properties in 2018.
