WIKY-DT2

WIKY-DT2 is a CW subchannel serving Evansville, IN and all it's surrounding areas. Just like the main channel, WIKY-DT2 is owned and operated by Lorimar Television. Before the establishment of the CW subchannel, the main channel was a CW affiliate until WREI left FOX and became the new affiliate of the Rainbow Dash Network. As a result, FOX had to find a new affiliate for Evansville. After being turned by WEVN (NBC) and WARU (ABC) to leave their networks, FOX went to WIKY, who was happy being a CW affiliate, but FOX made them an offer they couldn't refused, and WIKY became the new FOX affiliate for Evansville, and moved the CW affiliation to this subchannel where programming would be supplied via The CW Plus.
