Owned by MPS Media, WFLI is operated through a local marketing agreement (LMA) by New Age Media as sister to This TV/Comet TV affiliate WDSI-TV. Both stations, in turn, are operated by Sinclair Broadcast Group, owner of ABC/Fox affiliate WTVC.

The station signed-on May 25, 1987 as an Independent co-owned with WFLI radio (1070 AM) (hence the television station call sign). It aired an analog signal on UHF channel 53 from a transmitter in Cohutta, Georgia. On January 16, 1995, WFLI joined UPN as a charter affiliate. In 1997, the station was sold to Lambert Broadcasting, LLC. It added The WB in 1999 as a secondary affiliate; two years later, WFLI dropped UPN and became a full-time WB affiliate. The Meredith Corporation acquired WFLI in 2004.
