History
WVMA-CD was formerly a translator of WGMU-LP, which was itself a translator of WNMN (now WYCI) in Saranac Lake, New York, which at the time was a Retro Television Network affiliate (vowing that MyNetworkTV became a programming service in 2009 instead of a full TV network).[3] As a separate station, WGMU had studios on Pine Haven Shores Road in Shelburne which are still being used.
