WDFM-LP is a low-power television station (LPTV) licensed to serve Defiance, Ohio in the Toledo DMA. The station is owned by media conglomerate Clear Channel Communications, and is practically the smallest TV station in the Clear Channel chain.

Programming on WDFM-LP is basically local programming, with spotlights of people, places and businesses in Defiance, Williams and Henry Counties under the All Around... banner, along with local advertising. WDFM-LP's signal carries to most of the five Ohio counties of Fulton, Defiance, Henry, Paulding and Williams Counties. It has also been determined to be a "must-carry" station by the FCC which means it's signal is on all local cable systems in addition to its over-the-air coverage.

Lankenau Small Media Network, who owned WDFM-FM 98.1, established WDFM-LP in 1992 on channel 19, as W19BN. In March 1997, its calls would change to WDFM-LP.

In December 1998, Jacor Broadcasting (which would later merge with Clear Channel) acquires WDFM-FM and WDFM-LP from Lankenau.

WDFM-LP would later move its frequency from channel 19 to channel 26, to make way for the digital signal of Fort Wayne's WISE-TV, which broadcasts its digital signal on channel 19.

The station broadcasts from a broadcast antenna tower located in Sherwood, Ohio.

On November 16, 2006, Clear Channel announced its intention to sell off all of its television stations, including WDFM-LP, after the company was bought out by a private equity firm.
