WURH-CD is a class-A digital LPTV station in Miami, Florida on channel 25, owned by South Florida PBS, Inc.

History

On 16 October 1990, construction permit 890310UU became W25BF. On 7 July 1997, W25BF became WIMP-LP. WIMP became a class A station on 18 September 2001 and became WIMP-CA as a result. After a flash-cut to digital TV while staying on physical TV channel 25, it became WIMP-CD in November 2009.

Then-owner Sunshine Broadcasting Company sold WIMP-CD's spectrum as part of the broadcast incentive auction, for $3,138,184. On December 15, 2017, Sunshine Broadcasting closed on the donation of the station to South Florida PBS, Inc., who plans to enter into a channel-sharing arrangement to operate the station on the spectrum allocated to their WPBT. The station changed its call sign to WURH-CD on December 27, 2017.

Previously with Home Shopping Network, WURH-CD is now an affiliate of Elementos TV, a new Hispanic TV network from Salt Lake City, Utah.
