WBNM-LD is a low-powered television station licensed to and serving Louisville, Kentucky, United States. Its main channel has carried Buzzr since March 2017, and was previously a simulcast of WBNA channel 21, the former ION Television affiliated independent station. The station is owned by Word Broadcasting Network, and operated by South Central Communications. Its transmitter is located in northeastern Floyd County, Indiana just off Indiana State Road 111 just west of Sellersburg.

History

The station's construction permit was granted in 1998 under the callsign W49AX. The calls were changed to W50CI in December 1998. The station signed on as an over-the-air outlet of MTV2, and remained with that network until WBXV-LP took over the affiliation. W50CI became affiliated with the Home Shopping Network in the early 2000s. In 2013, the main channel became a translator of WBNA, with HSN on the DT2 subchannel. W50CI-D became a Buzzr affiliate in March 2017, becoming the second television station in Kentucky to affiliate with that station over two years after the LD2 subchannel of Bowling Green Antenna TV affiliate WCZU-LD.

Programming

WBNM-LD airs the Home Shopping Network and Sonlife Broadcasting Network on its subchannels, and the main channel airs the Buzzr network. All subchannels transmit in a 4:3 480i standard definition picture.
