WCWW-LD, UHF digital channel 25, is a low-powered CW-affiliated television station located in South Bend, Indiana, United States. The station is owned by Chicago-based Weigel Broadcasting, and is sister to ABC affiliate WBND-LD (channel 57) and MyNetworkTV affiliate WMYS-LD (channel 69). All three stations share studios located near the Indiana Toll Road on Generations Drive in the northeast side of South Bend, WCWW's transmitter is located just off the St. Joseph Valley Parkway in the southern portion of South Bend. This station can also be seen on Comcast Xfinity channel 5 and AT&T U-verse channel 25 and in HD on Comcast Xfinity digital channel 192 and AT&T U-verse channel 1025. Syndicated programming seen on WCWW-LD includes ''The Steve Wilkos Show'', ''The Big Bang Theory'', ''Maury'', ''The Jerry Springer Show'' and ''TMZ on TV''. ==History== The station was founded in 1990 as W25BM, operating as an independent station; it later changed its callsign to WYGN-LP in October 1995. In March 2002, the station changed its callsign to WRDY-LP; that fall, the station affiliated with The WB, which moved to WRDY-LP from the original WMWB-LP (now WMYS-LD), and it adopted the WMWB-LP callsign previously held by channel 69 to reflect its new affiliation with the network. On March 1, 2006, Weigel officials announced that WMWB would affiliate with The CW, a network formed out of the struggling WB and UPN networks in partnership with the two networks' owners Time Warner and CBS Corporation, when it premiered in September; channel 25 changed its call letters to WCWW-LP upon the network's launch on September 18, 2006. The WCWW calls had belonged to sister station WMYS, which took an affiliation with CW competitor MyNetworkTV (which launched two weeks earlier); the two stations both have borne the WRDY and WYGN calls. In early August 2008, Weigel Broadcasting agreed to sell all three of its South Bend stations, including WCWW, to Schurz Communications, the longtime owner of the local CBS affiliate WSBT-TV (channel 22), for undisclosed terms.〔(WSBT Purchases Three Low-Power Stations ), ''Broadcasting & Cable'', August 4, 2008.〕 However, in the absence of action by the Federal Communications Commission, the deal was called off in August 2009. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WCWW-LD」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
