W26DH-D, virtual and UHF digital channel 26, is a low-powered 3ABN-affiliated television station licensed to Auburn, Indiana, United States. The station is owned by Alexander Media, Inc.

## History

W07CL, the analog predecessor of W26DH-D, signed on in August 1991 as an affiliate of Main Street TV, two years after originally receiving their license. After the demise of Main Street TV, the station became an affiliate of the American Independent Network, with additional programming from Network One added later.

After the collapse of Network One, the station again became a full affiliate of the American Independent Network. Much like other local low-power stations of the time, W07CL mixed network programming with low-budget local productions. High school sports were a popular fixture on the station during its early years, and many programs were produced by the staff of then-sister stations WIFF (now WGLL) and WIFF-FM (now WGBJ).

Ownership of the station was transferred to Kovas Communications in 1999, and AIN became Urban America Television in 2001. The station obtained permission from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to go off the air on October 17, 2002. The station would remain silent for several months.

On February 21, 2003, Frank Kovas donated the station to the Raymond S. and Dorothy N. Moore Foundation, along with his other remaining station WGLL. Due to his failing health, Kovas had already sold his other stations in the years preceding this, including W07CL's sister-station WIFF-FM. Since the change in ownership, both stations have undergone significant changes, including extensive repairs and programming changes. Due to UATV's recent suspension of programming services, W26DH-D's primary channel has become a full-time 3ABN affiliate.

On January 29, 2021, the Raymond S. and Dorothy N. Moore Foundation transferred ownership of W26DH-D and its sister station WGLL to Alexander Media Inc.
