WCZU-LD is a digital low-powered television station that is licensed to and located in Bowling Green, Kentucky, USA. The station is owned by DTV America Corporation, a broadcasting firm based in Sunrise, Florida, located near Miami. The station is a primary affiliate of classic TV oriented Antenna TV, and also holds a secondary affiliation with the MyNetworkTV programming service.
The station's signal is broadcast on UHF channel 39, and originates from a transmitter located near Wingfield, in unincorporated southwest Edmonson County along Kentucky Route 1749.
WCZU-LD's application history dates back to about 2010. The station was assigned call letters W39CZ-D, but the call letters were changed to the current WCZU-LD before the station even took to the air, licensed under King Forward, Inc. Its elected transmitter site was originally located in rural Edmonson County, Kentucky on Grassland Road off Kentucky Route 70 (Morgantown Road) just northwest of Brownsville. That tower served as an AT&T long-lines microwave tower from the early 1970s until the mid 2000s as part of the AT&T Long Lines wire, cable, and microwave relay system. That tower can be seen in various areas of Edmonson County from Windyville to Sweeden as well as the north side of Brownsville, therefore making the structure a familiar landmark to area residents.
