WMYS-LD (channel 69) is a low-power television station in South Bend, Indiana, United States. It serves as an owned-and-operated station of the diginet Heroes & Icons, and has a secondary affiliation with MyNetworkTV. WMYS-LD is owned by Weigel Broadcasting alongside ABC affiliate WBND-LD (channel 57) and CW affiliate WCWW-LD (channel 25). The three stations share studios on Generations Drive (near the Indiana Toll Road) in northeastern South Bend; WMYS-LD's transmitter is located just off the St. Joseph Valley Parkway on the city's south side.
Due to its low-power status, its broadcasting radius only covers the immediate South Bend area. Therefore, Weigel relies on paid television subscription carriage for all three of its South Bend television stations to reach the entire market.
History
