W07CL

W07CL is a low-power television station in Auburn, Indiana, broadcasting locally on VHF channel 7 as a full-time affiliate of the Three Angels Broadcasting Network. The station is a full-time repeater of 3ABN programming, with local programming appearing only on rare occasions.

History

W07CL signed on in August 1991 as an affiliate of Main Street TV, two years after originally receiving their license. After the demise of Main Street TV, the station became an affiliate of the American Independent Network, with additional programming from Network One added later.

After the collapse of Network One, the station again became a full affiliate of the American Independent Network. Much like other local low-power stations of the time, W07CL mixed network programming with low-budget local productions. High school sports were a popular fixture on the station during its early years, and many programs were produced by the staff of then-sister stations WIFF (now WGLL) and WIFF-FM (now WGBJ).

Ownership of the station was transferred to Kovas Communications in 1999, and AIN became Urban America Television in 2001. The station obtained permission from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to go off the air on October 17, 2002. The station would remain silent for several months.
