Logo used 2009-2012 under the WTSN callsign and when the station was branded as The Total Sports Network.

On May 19, 2009, the then-WTSN-LP ceased broadcasting My44 and MyNetworkTV programming, and on June 1, the station flash cut to digital as WTSN-LD and changed its affiliation to America One. WEVV now carries MyNetworkTV as a secondary affiliate on its digital signal, on digital channel 44.2.

In August 2010, both WTSN-LD and WYYW-LP were granted Class A status by the Federal Communications Commission. The Class A designation protects them from being relocated to another channel by a full-power station.

In November 2011, WTSN-CD and WYYW-LP became affiliates of the classic programming network MeTV. [2] This lasted until February 25, 2014, when WYYW took on the Heartland affiliation. The station also added a second digital subchannel to carry The Family Channel on 15.2 on that same date. MeTV was still seen on sister station WTSN-CD until October 23. Then on January 17, 2015, WTSN-CD did repeats of Heartland's E/I programming on Saturday mornings, replacing its Heroes & Icons affiliation at that time during the weekend with these programs because of its religious programming on Sunday mornings until the affiliation with WYYW-CD ended. Then, in July of that year, WYYW-CD started to affiliate with the Spanish language network Telemundo with Retro TV airing on 15.3. [3]
