WLMB 40 is a Christian/family oriented tv station in Toledo, Ohio. The station's first call sign was issued as WXAE-TV on July 17, 1992. It adopted its current call-sign on May 17, 1994. However, the station did not commence broadcasting until October 19, 1998.

WLMB's line up is mostly religious shows and infomercials in the mornings and classic tv shows (The Andy Griffith Show, Brady Bunch, etc.) afternoons and evenings. Some of these programs are provided to WLMB from FamilyNet.

WLMB was an affiliate of Pax from 2000 to 2002, but they only carried selected original and religious programming, plus weather reports.

Its call letters stand for LaMB (ie. "Lamb of God"), to further illustrate itself as a Christian / family station.

WLMB is owned and operated by Dominion Broadcasting, which is not related to Dominion Media, owners of WVHF-CA in the Louisville, Kentucky area.
