WMDT is the ABC-affiliated television station broadcasting on the Delmarva Peninsula that is licensed to Salisbury, Maryland. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 47 from a transmitter in rural Wicomico County northeast of Mardela Springs. The tower is the second tallest structure in the state of Maryland. It can also be seen on Comcast channel 7 and in high definition on digital channel 210. Owned by Marquee Broadcasting, the station has studios on West Main Street (although its address is Downtown Plaza) in Salisbury.
Syndicated programming on WMDT includes: The Middle, Modern Family, The Queen Latifah Show, Judge Judy, and The Ellen DeGeneres Show. WMDT can also be seen on low-powered analog repeater, WEVD-LP channel 27, in Dover, Delaware. This channel has a transmitter northeast of the city between DE 1 and DE 9.
WMDT initiated broadcast operations in the Salisbury area on April 11, 1980. It was a primary ABC station with secondary NBC affiliation. It was the brainchild of the late Jean Paul Audet, a television pioneer who spent some of his early years in the Albuquerque, New Mexico and Charleston, South Carolina markets. In its early years of operation, WMDT won AP and UPI awards for its then innovative ENG efforts. Brechner Management Company, through its Delmarva Broadcast Service subsidiary, bought the station in 1982. In 1992, the station became a sole ABC affiliate carrying that network's programming as well as a mix of syndicated shows.
They came from the other side
In bunches at a time
Crowding up the neighborhood
To raise the rates of crime
Some of them got money
Most of them got shit
All they do is come here
To take from our pockets
Import, import, imported society
Import, import, imported society
Import, import, imported society
Import, import, imported society
Don't you fucking see
That you bother me
Genocide
You can't hide
So go home now
Don't come back
Take your goat
Get on your boat
I hate imports
I don't want to hear their shit
I hate imports
Cause I'm just so sick of it
I just want to
Live my life without you fucking assholes
And I want to
Never see your ass again
Import, import, imported society
Import, import, imported society
Import, import, imported society
Import, import, imported society
Hindus and Ethiopians
You know they're all the same
A huck a buck of Indians
