The station is owned by Tutt Media Group. WTMH-LD transmits from a tower located in Craven County near New Bern.
WTMH-LD also broadcast on two translators. One transmitter, WTMQ-LD (virtual channel 29, UHF digital channel 41), licensed to Jacksonville, transmits from a tower just south of there, and also serving the Greenville/New Bern/Washington, North Carolina market. The other translator is WTMV-LD (virtual channel 39, UHF digital channel 29) licensed to Ogden, North Carolina, that transmits from a tower mast near Wilmington, and serves the Wilmington, North Carolina media market.[2][3]
Formerly WTMH-LD, the Kinston transmitter became WARZ-LD in October 2021. The call letters were formerly used by a station licensed to Smithfield and Selma, now WNGT-CD.
