WMUR-TV, virtual channel and VHF digital channel 9, is an ABC-affiliated television station located in Manchester, New Hampshire, United States. The station is owned by the Hearst Television subsidiary of the Hearst Corporation. WMUR maintains studio facilities located on South Commercial Street in downtown Manchester, and its transmitter is located on the south peak of Mount Uncanoonuc in Goffstown.
Manchester is considered to be part of the larger Boston television market; that city's ABC affiliate, WCVB-TV, is also owned by Hearst.
WMUR contains one of only two news departments based in New Hampshire (the other being WBIN-TV's NH1 News), as much of the state falls under the Boston media market. In addition to WCVB-TV, WMUR-TV shares common coverage areas with two sister stations, WMTW-TV in Portland, Maine; and NBC affiliate WNNE in Hartford, Vermont, the latter a semi-satellite of Plattsburgh, New York-based WPTZ.
On October 3, 2011, WMUR added sub-channel 9.2 with programming from classic television network MeTV.
