WINM is a religious television station in Angola, Indiana, broadcasting locally on channel 63. It is a Tri-State Christian Television owned-and-operated station, carrying programming from TCT and TBN. WINM also broadcasts on digital channel 12, and in Fort Wayne, Indiana on repeater station W43CF (formerly W66BD).
Although it is licensed to Angola, the studios and transmitter for WINM are located in Ohio, near the Indiana-Ohio border, midway between Butler, Indiana and Edgerton, Ohio. This gives WINM greater coverage of the Fort Wayne market area. WINM is managed by Leo Vogt, who is also the news director for WFFT-TV.
[edit] History
On April 21, 1981, WXJC-TV signed on as a TBN affiliate. In 1984, the calls were changed to WBKZ, and were changed again in 1986 to WINM. In 1991, Tri-State Christian Television began producing their own part-time network feed of religious programming, and began airing it on their O&O stations.
On February 27, 2004, WINM's Fort Wayne repeater station, W66BD, changed calls to W43CF and moved to its current home on channel 43. W43CF has also applied to flash-cut to digital, and will continue as a repeater for WINM.
