WJSJ-CD (channel 51) is a low-power, Class A television station in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States, which is currently silent. The station is owned by Weigel Broadcasting.
History
[edit]The station was formerly WIWU-CD, owned by Indiana Wesleyan University, until it was sold to Frank Copsidas in December 2020.[4] Originally licensed to Tipton, Indiana, it aired local entertainment, sports, and news programming for Marion and Grant County, in addition to airing religious programming from TLN, Cornerstone Television and WHT. The sale came more than a year after Indiana Wesleyan University announced its intention to drop its broadcast operations and focus on digital services.[5]
On January 16, 2025, it was announced that Weigel Broadcasting would acquire WJSJ-CD for $1.6 million;[2] the sale was completed on March 24.[6]
