WWVW-LD (channel 56) is a low-power television station in Wheeling, West Virginia, United States, which is currently silent.[1] The station is owned by Abacus Television, which also owns a number of LPTV stations in the Pittsburgh area.

History

The station began operations on September 28, 1990, as W62BW. In 1999, it changed its callsign to W56DX. It was an affiliate of the American Independent Network and also aired programming from shopping networks.

The station was silent for a time between 2002 and 2005 as the station upgraded its facilities. The station returned to the air in the summer of 2005 with the call sign WWVW-LP and began airing Jewelry TV. On November 19, 2012, the station changed its call sign to the current WWVW-LD.

WWVW went silent in 2014 because of financial issues.[1]
