WCUW

WCUW is a FOX affiliate serving Worcester, Massachusetts, and it's surrounding areas. Broadcasting on channel 35, WCUW is owned and operated by Young Broadcasting, and is part of a duopoly in Worcester (Young also owns ABC affiliate WXLO). From the time the station signed on in 1990 until 1995, WCUW was an independent. In 1995, they became an affiliate of UPN. Then in 1999, WCUW and WORD had an affiliation swap when WORD became an UPN affiliate and WCUW became the new FOX affiliate. They would swap affiliates again in 2002 and WORD was once again the new FOX affiliate, while WCUW was once again the new UPN affiliate. In 2006, WCUW left UPN to join The CW. And in 2011, when WORD left FOX again (this time to become the new affiliate for the Rainbow Dash Network), WCUW was once again the new FOX affiliate for Worcester. WCUW also operates a subchannel: 35.2, where they moved their CW affiliation to.
