WYMT-TV, also known as WYMT Mountain News, was established in 1985, serving the Eastern Kentucky area as its first local television station. The specific founder's information is not widely available, but the station was created to provide local news and programming to a region that was previously only served by stations in other areas. Today, WYMT is owned by Gray Television, an American publicly traded television broadcasting company based in Atlanta, Georgia. Located in Hazard, Kentucky, WYMT provides a wide array of news coverage, including Local and Regional News, Sports, Political news, and Entertainment. Their location allows them to focus on stories that directly impact the Eastern Kentucky area, providing rich, community-centered content. One interesting fact: WYMT maintains a strong commitment to local sports coverage, particularly of high school sports. They broadcast a weekly "Game of the Week" during football and basketball seasons, highlighting the talents of local athletes and teams. This dedication to local sports coverage is a unique aspect of WYMT's service to its community.
WYMT is ranked N/A among other media sources and has an average of 981,474 monthly visits according to Similar Web.
