WCMZ-TV

Channel 28 was built as WFUM by the University of Michigan–Flint in 1980 and filled a gap in public television coverage in the central part of the state.

Citing the availability of other stations on cable and over-the-air in its service area, WCMZ-TV was sold in the FCC spectrum auction in February 2017 and closed on April 23, 2018.

Most cable providers in the area (then as now) piped in WCMU-TV, WDCQ-TV in Bay City, WTVS in Detroit, WKAR-TV in East Lansing or WGTE-TV in Toledo.

The programs included Childhood Places, Secret Spaces in which children's author Christopher Paul Curtis returns to his native Flint and a documentary about a Howell World War II Army Air Corps photo officer.

[7] On October 27, 2009, the Board of Trustees of Central Michigan University approved a proposal for CMU to acquire WFUM, for a maximum purchase price of $1 million.

[13] The agreement gave CMU Public Television one of the largest footprints in the PBS system, with at least secondary coverage from Petoskey to northern Monroe County.

[14][15] It was later announced that Spectrum, AT&T U-verse, DirecTV and Dish Network will continue to offer WCMU's programming in WCMZ's viewing area; Mount Pleasant is part of the Flint/Tri-Cities market.
