WEID-LD, virtual channel 18 (UHF digital channel 16), is a low-powered Daystar owned-and-operated television station licensed to South Bend, Indiana, United States. The station is owned by Word of God Fellowship.
History[]
Originally licensed to Elkhart, on March 16, 2006, the station was granted a construction permit to begin converting operations to digital television.
TBN took W18CF silent on March 8, 2010, citing declining support, which has been attributed to the digital transition.[1] Eleven days later, on March 19, a deal was reached to sell W18CF to Word of God Fellowship, owner of the Daystar Television Network.[2]
On October 13, 2010, the station changed its calls to WEID-LP.[3] On November 8, it filed a displacement application to operate a digital signal on channel 16 (formerly occupied by the analog signal of WNDU-TV).[4] The application was granted a construction permit on January 25, 2011. The digital signal was licensed to South Bend on December 1, 2014. The station changed its call sign to WEID-LD on November 9, 2015.
