WBNA, virtual channel 21 (VHF digital channel 8), is an independent commercial television station, licensed to Louisville, Kentucky, United States. The station is owned by local charismatic megachurch Evangel World Prayer Center. WBNA maintains offices located on Fern Valley Road (just north of State Route 1747) in Okolona, and its transmitter located off Oakcrest Drive in Shepherdsville. As such, WBNA and CW affiliate WBKI-TV (channel 34) are the only full-power television stations in the Louisville market whose transmitter facilities are not based at the Kentuckiana tower farm in Floyds Knobs, Indiana. On cable, WBNA is available on Charter Spectrum and Comcast Xfinity channel 21, and in high definition on Charter digital channel 916.
WBNA-TV's sign-on marked the first signal on analog Channel 21 in Louisville since the demise of WKLO-TV (ABC-DuMont) in July, 1953. The station first signed on the air on April 2, 1986, as the second full-power independent station in the Louisville market. WBNA originally offered mostly local and national religious programming. When WDRB (channel 41) joined Fox eleven months later in May 1987, WBNA became the only independent in Louisville until WFTE (channel 58, now WMYO) signed on in March 1994. It gradually mixed in some secular programs as well, mostly consisting of older movies.
