WCNW-TV

WCNW-TV, digital channel 39 and virtual channel 40, is an indie station licensed to Nextonville, Tennessee. This station is previously owned by Hikoula Industries, but now owned by the American subsidiary of Trinome Media, which is the Trinomerica, LLC. WCNW's callsign means We Cover Nextonvillians NationWide.

First years
The station signed-on on the air on January 6, 1977, with Hikoula Industries who owned WCNW that time. It originally planned to be a translator of WNXT-TV, but Hikoula said that it will be not a translator, it will be an indie station for the rest of the station's life.

Ratings are not good during the first years of WCNW. On March of 1982, WCNW started broadcasting movies, as Hikoula said that it will be a movie channel IF it will be high in ratings. However, the gimmick did not worked. Saturday morning cartoons started broadcasting on 1984, however this gimmick worked. It became high on ratings, surpassing other Nextonville stations.

Analog shutdown
WCNW did not shutdown their analog signal on 2009, due to still no money to switch to digital. The switch took 1 year, on June 12, 2010 at 1:09PM. The nightlight took until June 30, 2010.
