WLAJ is the ABC-affiliated television station for the Central Lower Peninsula of Michigan that is licensed to Lansing. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 25 (or virtual channel 53.1 via ) from a transmitter on Baseline Road near Rives Township's Berryville section, along the Jackson and Ingham County line. Owned by Shield Media, the station is operated through joint sales and shared services agreements by the Nexstar Media Group as a sister outlet to CBS affiliate WLNS-TV. The two stations share studios on East Saginaw Street/BL I-69/M-43 in Lansing's Eastside section (along U.S. 127).
WLAJ began broadcasting on October 13, 1990, operating from a converted appliance store. The station was originally owned by Joel Ferguson, the founding owner of the market's first independent station, WFSL-TV (now Fox affiliate WSYM-TV). Ferguson had used the proceeds from the sale of WFSL to launch WLAJ.
