WALV-CD, virtual and UHF digital channel 46, is a MeTV-affiliated television station located in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. The station is owned by the Dispatch Broadcast Group, and is a sister station to NBC affiliate WTHR (channel 13). The two stations share studio facilities located on North Meridian Street (south of I-65) in downtown Indianapolis; WALV-CD maintains transmitter facilities located near Ditch Road and West 96th Street (near I-465) in Carmel.
Even though WALV operates a digital signal of its own, the low-powered broadcasting radius does not reach the entire Indianapolis market. Therefore, the station is simulcast over WTHR's third digital subchannel in order to reach the entire market. This signal can be seen on virtual and UHF digital channel 13.3, broadcasting from a transmitter near Ditch Road and West 96th Street in Carmel. On cable, WALV-CD is available (through the WTHR-DT3 feed) on AT&T U-verse channel 50, Charter Spectrum channel 60 and digital channel 357 and Comcast Xfinity digital channel 250.
