History

WWVW-LP began operations on September 28, 1990, as W62BW. In 1999, it changed its callsign to W56DX. The station was an American Independent Network affiliate and also aired programming from shopping networks.

The station was silent for a time between 2002 and 2005 as the station upgraded its facilities. The station returned to the air in the summer of 2005 with the call sign WWVW-LP and began airing Jewelry TV. On November 19, 2012, the station changed its call sign to the current WWVW-LD.

WWVW went silent in 2014 because of financial issues.[1]
