WTLE-LP is the TeleFutura affiliate for the Fort Myers-Naples, Florida television market. It is licensed in Fort Myers, owned by Equity Media Holdings, and operates on UHF channel 18, with no digital signal. The station has, in the past, carried programming from the Pax network[1]; it has also been a repeater for sister Univision affiliate WUVF-CA.

WTLE has previously been owned by Paxson Communications[2] and Tiger Eye Broadcasting[1][2]; Equity bought the station in 2004.[1]

On April 4, 2008 Equity announced the sale of all five of its Southwest Florida stations (including WTLE) to to Luken Communications, LLC for $8 million. Equity has cited corporate financial losses as a reason for the sale. ([1])
