WHME-TV (channel 46) is a television station in South Bend, Indiana, United States, affiliated with the Spanish-language network Univision.
Prior to 2024, WHME-TV served as the flagship station of World Harvest Television, an organization founded by Assembly of God minister Lester Sumrall, whose sons are still active with the ministry.
The G & E Religious and Educational Broadcasting Corporation obtained a construction permit for a new television station on channel 46 in South Bend on April 10, 1973.
[11] In January 1977, rumors began to circulate that the Lester Sumrall Evangelistic Association was in negotiations to buy WMSH-TV from its trustee, Elkhart attorney Gordon MacKenzie.
[12] Sumrall closed on the purchase on July 21,[1] and the newly renamed WHME-TV signed on the air on September 10, 1977; the station ran mostly religious programs, along with a blend of classic cartoons, sitcoms from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, and some drama series.
[14] WHME used to carry many regional college football and basketball games shown through ESPN Plus until the 2007 launch of the Big Ten Network.
On March 8, 2011, WHME-TV received a construction permit to move its digital operations to its former analog allotment on channel 46, due to interference with WMLW-TV in Racine, Wisconsin (which transmits from Milwaukee), a station that also broadcast its digital signal on UHF channel 48, with both stations having signal conflicts on the edges of their market areas.
