History
The station signed on March 26, 2006 as WHRE. The station was originally owned by Copeland Channel 21, LLC, but has always been programmed by TBN. TBN filed to purchase the station outright in May 2010.[1] WHRE added the -TV suffix to WHRE in 2010. The call letters were changed to WTPC-TV on November 15, 2010.

Analog-to-digital conversion
WTPC-TV (as WHRE) shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 21, on February 17, 2009, and "flash-cut" its digital signal into operation on VHF channel 7. Because it was granted an original construction permit after the FCC finalized the DTV allotment plan on April 21, 1997.[3] The station did not receive a companion channel for a digital television station, using PSIP to display WTPC-TV's virtual channel as 21 on digital television receivers.
