WDTN, virtual channel 2 (UHF digital channel 50), is an NBC-affiliated television station licensed to Dayton, Ohio, United States. WDTN is owned by Nexstar Media Group, and also operates CW affiliate WBDT (owned by Vaughan Media LLC) through a local marketing agreement. The two stations share studios located on South Dixie Drive in Moraine, Ohio (though with a Dayton mailing address), and WDTN's transmitter is located in the Frytown section of Dayton. However, master control and some internal operations of WDTN and WBDT are based within centralcasting facilities at sister station WISH-TV in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The construction permit for what is now WDTN was awarded to the Crosley Broadcasting Corporation of Cincinnati on April 4, 1947. It was the first broadcast television license granted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to Dayton. However, due to several delays, the station did not actually go on the air until March 15, 1949, twenty days after CBS affiliate WHIO-TV began broadcasting. Originally called WLWD and broadcasting on channel 5, the station operated from an office and studio facility established in a former skating rink on Dixie Drive in Moraine.
