History
WDHN signed on on August 7, 1970, under ownership of a group of investors headed by Betts Slingluff, Jr. In 1979, Slingluff's group sold WDHN to Hi Ho Television, which also owned WVGA in Valdosta, Georgia. In 1986, Hi Ho sold WDHN and WVGA to Morris Multimedia. In 2003, Nexstar Broadcasting purchased WDHN along with KARK-TV in Little Rock, Arkansas from Morris.
The station has always been an ABC affiliate.
Programming
WDHN has historically lagged behind CBS affiliate WTVY in the ratings for local and other programming. This is partly due to its weak signal. It still broadcasts from its original tower, a tiny (by modern television standards) 500-foot (152 m) structure behind its studio. It only broadcasts at 1.07 million watts, one of the weakest signals in the country for a full-powerered network affiliate.
Digital TV
The station's digital channel:

Analog-to-digital conversion
After the analog television shutdown and digital conversion, which is tentatively scheduled to take place on February 17, 2009 [1], WDHN will remain on its current pre-transition channel number, 21. [2] However, through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers will display WDHN's virtual channel as 18.
