WTVW (channel 7) is a television station in Evansville, Indiana, United States, serving as a de facto owned-and-operated station of The CW. It is owned by Mission Broadcasting, which maintains a shared services agreement (SSA) with Nexstar Media Group (which owned the station outright from 2003 to 2011 and presently owns ABC affiliate WEHT [channel 25] and holds a majority stake in The CW), for the provision of certain services. The two stations share studios on Marywood Drive in Henderson, Kentucky; WTVW's transmitter is located just outside of Chandler, Indiana.
Before joining The CW, WTVW was the market's Fox affiliate from December 3, 1995, to June 30, 2011 (serving as an independent station after disaffiliating from the network until January 30, 2013);[2] before that, it served as Evansville's original ABC affiliate from its August 21, 1956, sign-on to December 2, 1995.
