WLAJ-DT2 is the CW-affiliated television station for the Central Lower Peninsula of Michigan. The station is a second digital subchannel of ABC affiliate WLAJ that is owned by Shield Media, LLC but operated through joint sales and shared services agreements by Nexstar Media Group. This makes it a sister outlet to CBS affiliate WLNS-TV. Over-the-air, WLAJ-DT2 broadcasts a 720p high definition digital signal on UHF channel 25.2 (or virtual channel 53.2 via PSIP).
It airs from a transmitter, on Baseline Road near Rives Township's Berryville section, along the Jackson and Ingham County line. Part of the national CW Plus programming service, the station can also be seen on Comcast channel 5 (hence its on-air branding CW 5). Its parent outlet shares studios with WLNS on East Saginaw Street/BL I-69/M-43 in Lansing's Eastside section (along U.S. 127).
