WPVN-CD (channel 24) is a low-power, Class A television station in Chicago, Illinois, United States, owned by Innovate Corp.[1] The station's studios are located on West Belmont Avenue in northwest Chicago, with transmitter atop the John Hancock Center in downtown Chicago.
History
The station became a Retro TV affiliate for the Chicago television market on November 13, 2010 (through June 30, 2013), but the main purpose of the station is to relocate much of the ethnic programming removed by Weigel Broadcasting in December 2010 when they decided to end carrying it over to WCIU-DT6.
On March 28, 2011, WPVN-CA applied to move its transmitting facilities to the Trump International Hotel and Tower from its current analog and digital locations. The application was approved on August 31, 2011,[2] along with getting Class A digital status on October 7, 2011.[3]
