WDHS was a television station licensed to Iron Mountain, Michigan, United States, which served the Central and Western Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It broadcast a standard definition digital signal on virtual and VHF channel 8 from a transmitter on East B Street in Iron Mountain. WDHS was owned by Withers Broadcasting Companies, along with WDTV in Weston–Clarksburg, West Virginia.

The station was dark for much of its history;[1] it came on the air only for a short period on an annual basis merely as a way to keep its Federal Communications Commission (FCC) license active. The WDHS license was canceled on November 19, 2015, months after an FCC policy change negated the "once per year broadcast" method of retaining a station license which had been exploited in the radio industry to "warehouse" prominent call letters in small markets, along with television broadcasters holding out for sales partners.[2][3]

When WDHS was on the air, it theoretically could serve parts of Baraga, Delta, Dickinson, Florence (WI), Forest (WI), Gogebic, Houghton, Iron, Langlade (WI), Marinette (WI), Marquette, Menominee, Oconto (WI), Oneida (WI), and Vilas (WI) counties in Michigan and Wisconsin. Most likely, it only broadcast at a low power to save electricity and fulfill the legal fiction of maintaining the license.
