WTAM-LP is a low-power television station in Tampa, Florida. It provides over-the-air service to the Tampa - St. Petersburg area on analog channel 30 from its transmitter in Riverview. WTAM-LP broadcasts Spanish-language programming from the Mexican "Multimedios Television" network under the "TV Visión" name. It is owned by Lotus Communications Corporation of Los Angeles, California.

The station signed on in August 2005 as "TV Informa 30", but closed down in February 2006, after failing to find any cable system that would offer the channel in their line-up. [http://www.marketingymedios.com/marketingymedios/market_profile/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002276175] Being a low-powered station with no connections with any local full-powered outlets, WTAM was exempt from the Federal Must-carry rules that full-powered stations enjoyed, meaning that cable and satellite companies weren't obligated to offer the channel. Apparently not having the funds or the patience, Lotus opted to shut down WTAM, instead of keeping the station on the air as a terrestrial-only offering.

As of November 2006, WTAM has returned to the air as "TV Visión", still affiliated with Multimedios. It is unclear when WTAM signed back on, or if it ever closed down at all (despite what the source article says).

WTAM-LP is not related to the news / talk radio station in Cleveland, Ohio, WTAM (AM).
