About Nueva Vida TV

OptimaVision starts as a video-streaming service. On November 14, 2013, OptimaVision launched WNTE-LD channel 36 in Mayaguez, now owned by Make TV Corporation, as a satellite of WVDO-LD. WVTE-LD Channel 3 followed on March 24, 2014. WQHA Channel 50 (formerly a repeater for WUJA) was sold for $29 million to Western New Life, Inc. on May 2, 2014, and became the third channel in the network. NCN Television moved its programming to digital subchannel 50.2. On January 1, 2018 OptimaVision rebrands itself as Zona TV. On August 1, the station is once again rebranded as Nueva Vida TV.

FCC Spectrum Auction and WQHA sale

In 2012, the Federal Communications Commission announced they were going to hold a voluntary Incentive Auction for a portion of the radio frequency spectrum that is currently used by Digital Television broadcasters across the country. WQHA's owner, New Life Broadcasting announced he would participate in the auction, since it was estimated the station would net somewhere in the range of $127 Million USD, much more than it would be worth on the open market otherwise. Since that time the auction estimate has increased to somewhere between $95 and $50 Million USD, with the auction currently scheduled to take place in early 2016.
