WNDY-TV, virtual channel 23 (UHF digital channel 32), is a MyNetworkTV-affiliated television station serving Indianapolis, Indiana, United States that is licensed to Marion. The station is owned by Nexstar Media Group, as part of a duopoly with CW affiliate WISH-TV (channel 8). The two stations share studio facilities located on North Meridian Street (at the north end of Indianapolis' Television Row) in northwestern Indianapolis; WNDY maintains transmitter facilities located in White River Township. On cable, WNDY is available on Comcast Xfinity, Charter Spectrum and AT&T U-verse channel 10 in standard definition and in high definition on Xfinity, Spectrum and AT&T U-verse channel 1010.
The station first signed on the air on November 1, 1987 as WMCC. Founded by G.J. Robinson, it originally operated as an independent station; it ran mostly paid programming, but slowly added classic sitcoms, cartoons and older movies. The station's original studios and transmitter were located on East 246th Street/State Road 213 in White River Township. WMCC continued to acquire more recent sitcoms, and added some talk and reality shows during the early 1990s. The station would later relocate its operations to a new studio facility on West 16th Street in Indianapolis.
