History

The station was founded on June 22, 1994, as W24BW (although it had a

MuchMusic. In 2003, the station switched its affiliation to America One, and began airing community and regional programming as well as sporting events. Channel 24's first chief engineer, Virgil Baldon Jr. (1994–1997), had the foresight to install a forward-compatible Acrodyne analog-to-digital convertible solid-state transmitter when W24BW began operations, over ten years ahead of the 2009 digital television transition
. Baldon also oversaw the change of the transmitting antenna's directional main beam to 135 degrees true for maximum signal over the city of Louisville. Baldon was the first African-American engineer to oversee and successfully launch a TV station in the state of Kentucky.

African American and Hispanic community.[2]
The station also began to brand under the fictional "WYCS" call letters (standing for "Your Community Station"), to avert confusion with other local translator stations which just transmitted completely automated content straight from their network's satellites.

Greater Louisville Broadcasting later sold channel 24 to New Albany Broadcasting Co., Inc. On November 10, 2009, the station changed its call sign to W24BW-D, upon beginning digital operation. On May 20, 2010, the station changed its call sign to WKYI-CD, denoting its status as a class A digital television station.

In January 2015, WKYI-CD took over the affiliation of This TV on 24.2 in place of WAVE, which was required by a company-wide agreement to offer the new male-focused subchannel Grit instead. This programming is mainly carried in the mornings, prime time and overnights on the station rather than the full 24/7 service.

The station changed its call sign to WBKI-CD on December 27, 2017, and to WMYO-CD on February 12, 2018.
