WHFE-LP and WVGO-LP are low-power television stations in Sullivan, Indiana, broadcasting locally as affiliates of America One on channels 18 and 54 (respectively). The stations are owned by low-power magnate KM Communications, and serve different neighborhoods within Sullivan -- WHFE serving the northern and central sides of Sullivan, and WVGO serving unincorporated area to the northwest of Sullivan. Two additional LPTV translators, WIIB-LP channel 7 in Farmersburg and WKMF-LP channel 32 in Sullivan, relay the signals of WHFE and WVGO.
The stations have plans to vastly-increase their coverage area -- WHFE has separate application and construction permits that would increase its power to 25 kW and move the transmitter closer to Terre Haute, to cover that city; while WVGO increases to 150 kW, broadcasting from near the banks of the Wabash River, using a directional antenna that would transmit a "bow-tie" lobe towards Sullivan and Marshall, Illinois.
Although WIIB-LP and WKMF-LP simulcast the same programming as WHFE-LP and WKMF-LP, hourly station IDs display only the call letters and channel assignments of WHFE and WVGO.
Through early 2007, all four stations broadcast programming 24/7 from America One. That year, programming was changed to White Springs Television (WSTV), which carries commercial-free movies and short subjects, most of which are in the public domain. The stations returned to America One after WSTV folded in late 2009.
