WCLL-CD

WCLL-CD is a low-power Class A television station licensed to serve communities in Ohio, United States.

WCLL-CD carries Daystar's interdenominational, family-friendly programming, which includes teaching and ministry shows, talk programming such as Joni Table Talk, worship and music content, and other original productions. As a Daystar affiliate, WCLL-CD functions as part of a distribution network that reaches a very large global audience. Daystar states that its programming is available in over 2.4 billion homes worldwide and reaches more than 7.3 billion people, with over 450,000 viewers using its TV and mobile apps. These figures reflect the network's broad carriage across broadcast television, cable, satellite, streaming, and digital platforms.

WCLL-CD itself is a Class A low-power station, a category of U.S. television station that provides a locally oriented service with certain protections and must-carry rights. Like many low-power stations affiliated with religious networks, it primarily rebroadcasts the parent network's national feed, with limited or no local programming of its own.

The network is privately held and is not a publicly traded company. Its mission statement centers on reaching souls with the good news of Jesus Christ, and its statement of faith reflects traditional Christian beliefs, including the Trinity, the deity of Christ, salvation through repentance and faith, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit. For viewers in WCLL-CD's coverage area, the station provides free over-the-air access to Daystar's programming, complementing cable, satellite, and streaming distribution. The station's call sign, WCLL-CD, follows the naming conventions for Class A digital low-power stations in the United States, with the "-CD" suffix indicating its Class A digital status.
