The station originally signed on by PrideNation Network in 2006 as WGAY-LP (aka Proud Television), it was known for being the first terrestrial television station in the United States to cater to the LGBT community, with a selection of original programming and specials, plus movies about, or appealing to, LGBT culture, as well as repeats of The Lucy Show and One Step Beyond , plus infomercials. It was also seen locally on Comcast channel 75, and worldwide on the internet.

However, due to economic troubles, Proud Television closed down sometime in 2008. [1] PrideNation would sell the station to Three Grand TV of Altamonte Springs, which would re-call the station as WMDF-LP. [2]

In January 2012, the station converted to a digital license, as WMDF-LD.

In April 2012, the station would be transferred to Paradise TV of Sarasota, retaining Three Grand TV as a licensee.
