On June 25, 2008, Equity disclosed that it was selling WTMS to Luken Communications, LLC.[2]
Equity Media Holdings has been in Chapter 11 bankruptcy since December 2008[3] and offers by Luken Communications to acquire Equity-owned stations in six markets have since been withdrawn.[4]
WTMS was sold at auction to Silver Point Capital on April 16, 2009.[5] The sale closed on August 17, 2009;[6] just a week later, on August 25, the station's license was canceled.[7] As of February 7, 2010[update], however, WTMS-LD, a construction permit for a digital companion channel, remained active. This construction permit has since expired and the station is now listed as DWTMS, and is marked for deletion from the FCC database.
