WUDZ-LD is a low-powered television station licensed to and originally broadcasting in Terre Haute, Indiana, United States, but since relocated to and now serving Indianapolis. The station, which broadcasts its digital signal on virtual and UHF channel 28, is owned by DTV America Corporation of Sunrise, Florida. The station is affiliated with Buzzr, a FremantleMedia-owned classic game show-oriented network.[1]
History[edit]
The station’s construction permit was initially issued on December 13, 2010 under the calls of W28DZ-D. The current WUDZ-LD calls were assigned on December 7, 2015. The next day, the station signed on the air with Buzzr network programming on the main channels, making WUDZ the first station in the Terre Haute area to carry a multi-cast specialty network.
The station's owners moved this station to the Indianapolis market around May 14, 2016.[2] An FCC query of WUDZ-LP reveals that the current antenna in use for the station is now located at 7701 Walnut Drive on that city's northwest side.[3] Though the station remains officially licensed to Terre Haute,[4] the station identification placard presently in use on-air denotes Indianapolis.
