History

WGPS-LD served as an affiliate of Daystar during much of the late 1990s, 2000s, and early 2010s while under the callsigns of W59CY for the first four years, W22CL from 1999 to 2013, and then under the WGPS-LP calls from 2013 to 2020. On May 28, 2020, the callsign was changed to WGPS-LD.

On July 1, 2014, WGPS-LP became affiliated with Estrella TV on its main subchannel, with DrTV on its second subchannel. [1] [2]

In 2015, two more subchannels were added. In Summer of that year, Sonlife was launched onto WGPS-LD3. In December, Grit was launched onto a fourth digital subchannel. During that month, DrTV was replaced by Sony Pictures Television's GetTV network on DT2.

On November 29, 2016, Cozi TV replaced Estrella TV on DT1; two days later, Estrella TV replaced the defunct MundoMax network on WXCW-DT2.
