WCWW-LD, UHF digital channel 25, is a low-powered CW-affiliated television station located in South Bend, Indiana, United States. The station is owned by Chicago-based Weigel Broadcasting, and is sister to ABC affiliate WBND-LD (channel 57) and MyNetworkTV affiliate WMYS-LD (channel 69). All three stations share studios located near the Indiana Toll Road on Generations Drive in the northeast side of South Bend, WCWW's transmitter is located just off the St. Joseph Valley Parkway in the southern portion of South Bend.
This station can also be seen on Comcast Xfinity channel 5 and AT&T U-verse channel 25 and in HD on Comcast Xfinity digital channel 192 and AT&T U-verse channel 1025.
The station was founded in 1990 as W25BM, operating as an independent station; it later changed its callsign to WYGN-LP in October 1995. In March 2002, the station changed its callsign to WRDY-LP; that fall, the station affiliated with The WB, which moved to WRDY-LP from the original WMWB-LP (now WMYS-LD), and it adopted the WMWB-LP callsign previously held by channel 69 to reflect its new affiliation with the network.
