WYYW-CD (channel 15) is a low-power, Class A television station in Evansville, Indiana, United States, affiliated with the Spanish-language network Telemundo. The station is owned by Three Sisters Broadcasting alongside Antenna TV affiliate WTSN-CD (channel 20).
History
Until 2009, WYYW-CD was co-owned by the Evansville Low Power Partnership and Comcorp, as a sister station to Evansville CBS affiliate WEVV-TV.
On May 19, 2009, the then-WTSN-LP ceased broadcasting My44 and MyNetworkTV programming, and on June 1, the station flash cut to digital as WTSN-LD and changed its affiliation to America One. WEVV now carries MyNetworkTV as a secondary affiliation on digital channel 44.2.
In August 2010, both WTSN-LD and WYYW-LP were granted Class A status by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The Class A designation protects them from being relocated to another channel by a full-power station.
In November 2011, WTSN-CD and WYYW-LP became affiliates of the classic programming network MeTV.[1]
On December 12, 2012, WTSN-CD and WYYW-CD swapped call signs. The original WTSN-CD became WYYW-CD, while the original WYYW-CD became WTSN-CD.[2]
On February 25, 2014, WYYW-CD dropped MeTV and took on the Heartland affiliation. The station also added a second digital subchannel to carry The Family Channel on 15.2 on that same date. MeTV was still seen on WTSN-CD until October 23. Then on January 17, 2015, WTSN-CD aired repeats of Heartland's E/I programming on Saturday mornings, replacing its Heroes & Icons affiliation at that time during the weekend with these programs because of its religious programming on Sunday mornings until the affiliation with WYYW-CD ended. Then, in July of that year, WYYW-CD started to affiliate with the Spanish–language network Telemundo with Retro TV airing on 15.3.Template:R
