WTSN-CD (channel 20) is a low-power, Class A television station in Evansville, Indiana, United States, affiliated with Antenna TV. The station is owned by Three Sisters Broadcasting alongside Telemundo affiliate WYYW-CD (channel 15).

History

WAZE-TV originally broadcast its digital signal on UHF channel 20 just before that station shut down permanently in 2011.

The low-power channel 20 was founded on September 22, 2011, as WYYW-CD, and became a MeTV affiliate two months later. This happened three weeks after CBS affiliate WEVV-TV began broadcasting Fox network programming on its second digital subchannel.

On December 12, 2012, WYYW-CD and WTSN-CD swapped call signs. The original WTSN-CD became WYYW-CD, while the original WYYW-CD became WTSN-CD.[2]

The station became a Heroes & Icons (H&I) affiliate on October 23, 2014, while MeTV relocated to WFIE-DT3; five days later, MeTV moved to WFIE-DT2. Then on January 17, 2015, WTSN replaced its H&I affiliation with Heartland's E/I programming repeats from its sister station on Saturday mornings because of its Sunday religious and local programming up until the Heartland affiliation with WYYW-CD ended.

On October 25, 2019, WTSN dropped the H&I affiliation, replacing it with Antenna TV.[3]

The station's signal is multiplexed:
