In the late 1990s, HSN's broadcasting arm Silver King Television planned to switch its stations to a general entertainment independent format, with WHSE/WHSI slated to switch in 2001. In the interim WHSE/WHSI ran programming from the AIN/UATV networks. Late in 2000, however, USA Broadcasting, which Silver King was renamed after Barry Diller had purchased HSN and its other holdings (merging it with USA Network), decided instead to sell its stations to Univision Communications. The Walt Disney Company, owners of ABC owned-and-operated station WABC-TV channel 7, had been the leading bidder for the USA stations but were outbid by Univision at the last minute. On January 14, 2002 WHSE/WHSI then became charter affiliates of Univision's new secondary network Telefutura (which rebranded as UniMás in January 2013) with WHSE's call letters being changed to WFUT and WHSI's call letters changed to WFTY. In November 2017, UniMás moved to 67.2 thus reverting to its English Channel 67.1 as the Justice Network affiliate.
