As part of a long-term affiliation renewal with [[The CW]], Media General announced on December 23, 2014 that WHLT would add the network to their digital subchannel.<ref>https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20141223005313/en/CW-Media-General-Announce-Long-Term-Affiliation-Agreements</ref> This displaced The CW's previous home on WHPM-LD2. Comcast offers WHLT-DT2 in high definition on channel 1024 for Hattiesburg viewers. By spring 2017, the over-the-air feed for WHLT-DT2 was upgraded into [[720p]] to allow for [[16:9]] high definition viewing for non-cable or satellite subscribers.<ref>[http://www.rabbitears.info/market.php?request=print_station&facility_id=48668 RabbitEars TV Query for WHLT]</ref> The CW feed for WHLT is identical to that of sister station WJTV and is not [[The CW Plus]] feed offered in similarly sized markets.{{cncitation needed|date=December 2020}}
 
On January 27, 2016, [[Nexstar Media Group|Nexstar Broadcasting Group]] announced its acquisition of Media General; the deal was completed on January 17, 2017.
