WIIW-LP is a low-powered television station that is licensed to Nashville, Tennessee.

History

The Station first signed on sometime in the late 1990s under the ownership of Equity Broadcasting, and broadcast programming from Univision 24 Hours a day.[1][2] On December 18, 2003, Equity Broadcasting sold WIIW to its Current Owner of U.S. Television.[3] Soon after the sale, Programming from Univision was discontinued & replaced with Programming from Daystar. Univision's Programming would move to Equity's Newly Acquired Station of WNTU-LP in 2006. Daystar's programming was discontinued sometime in 2012 & replaced with Programming from MTV 2. On December 1st, 2015, WIIW was taken silent and will return to the air as an Independent Station, when the conversion to digital operations are completed.[4]

As of January 2015, WIIW maintains two construction permits, one to broadcast on digital UHF channel 29, and the other to broadcast on digital channel 25. Digital channel 25 is already occupied with full-powered CBS affiliate WTVF, so WIIW will end up with digital channel 29. [5] Through the use of PSIP, the station’s channel will still be displayed as its analog channel 14. The deadline for the Digital television transition for low-powered stations is in September 2015.
