WDFL-LD (channel 18) is a low-power television station in Miami, Florida, United States, owned by Findal Media & Technology Group, Inc.[2]
History
[edit]On June 17, 2013, it was announced that CNN Latino would be carried on the station beginning on August 19 of the same year.[3][4][5][6] In February 2014, it was announced that CNN Latino would be ceasing operations, however, the station remained on the air with its programming and with more to be added to the station.[7]
The station later flipped to a Spanish independent station as "Mira TV" in late 2014.[8]
