History

The station first signed on the air on December 2, 1987 as W12BK, broadcasting on VHF channel 12; later that month, it moved to UHF channel 69 and accordingly changed its calls to W69BT. It originally operated as a translator of Chicago sister station WCIU-TV (WMYS currently carries Cubs and White Sox games that are carried on WCIU through its broadcast partner WGN-TV, as well as WCIU's morning news/lifestyle program You & Me This Morning). On October 18, 1995, W58BT (channel 58, now WBND-LD on channel 57) became the South Bend market's new ABC affiliate, after full-power WSJV (channel 28) ended its affiliation with that network to join Fox. Due to W58BT's low-power signal which could not reach the entire market, Weigel converted W69BT into a translator of W58BT to reach areas that could not receive an adequate signal.
