WFHW-LP was a low-powered community-oriented television station licensed to Buffalo, New York, founded by
The Learning Channel.[4] By 1991, the station had partnered up with Medaille College, though this would only last until January 1, 1993.[5]
At some point in the mid-1990s, the station upgraded from translator to low-powered television status, and changed its
call letters to WFHW-LP after what would become its last operator, the local branch of the non-profit Friendship House.[6] The station ceased operations on Halloween in 1999 after the Friendship House ceased operations, several years before the Digital television transition in the United States.[7] Channel 58 would not be reissued; it would later be allocated to WJET-TV/Erie, Pennsylvania
as a temporary digital channel prior to the transition, after which it (along with all stations between 52 and 69) would be removed from the television spectrum.
