WINM (channel 12) is a religious television station licensed to Angola, Indiana, United States, serving the Fort Wayne area as an owned-and-operated station of Tri-State Christian Television (TCT). The station's transmitter is located in unincorporated Williams County, Ohio (in the Toledo market), near the Indiana state line, midway between Butler, Indiana, and Edgerton, Ohio. Though most of the city proper is adequately covered by the main signal, WINM's signal is relayed in Fort Wayne on digital translator W17EX-D (channel 38).
WINM maintained studios on Butler Road in Fort Wayne (in the former studio facility of PBS member station WFWA, channel 39) until TCT ended local operations in June 2018.[1] Despite Angola being WINM's city of license, the station maintains no physical presence there.
History
