The station is owned by Woodland Communications, a company controlled by Bill and Paige Christian, partners in Waypoint Media, and has an affiliation with the classic television network Antenna TV.

[citation needed] 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).

The nearest WGMU-CA outlying translator to Montreal, W52CD channel 52 in St. Albans, barely reached the city.

Prior to December 2010, WGMU-CA experienced long term outages (i.e. dead air; static/snow), lasting several weeks or months, and only broadcast sporadically.
