WDWO-CD is a television station in Detroit, Michigan, which broadcasts the programming of the Tri-State Christian Television (TCT) religious network.

  • WDWO-CD is a television station in Detroit, Michigan, which broadcasts the programming of the Tri-State Christian Television (TCT) religious network. The station was founded on April 13, 1989, but did not sign on until sometime in 1993 as W44AR channel 44, owned by a local religious organization, Detroit World Outreach. The station went silent in July 1999, due to WWJ-TV starting up its digital signal on that channel, but returned to air on channel 18 on February 25, 2000, under TCT ownership. The station was sold, apparently since DWO couldn't afford keeping the station, or enduring any expenses to move the channel. The station also had a rebroadcaster on channel 27 in Ann Arbor. That channel was originally "W59CA" channel 59, a repeater of Saginaw's WAQP, serving Jackson, which was relocated to Ann Arbor in November 2000 and rechristened as W27CJ. In November 2007, the repeater was sold to SMG Media Group and the call sign changed to WHDA-LP, and later to WFHD-LP, which has since been sold and is currently silent. Plans were for the station to broadcast all local programming from Ann Arbor in 100% high definition digital format; however, the station's future is unknown, and for a while, the WFHD calls were pending reassignment to W36CO in St. Petersburg, Florida, for a new digital Spanish-language channel on that station. On cable, WDWO can be seen on Comcast Detroit digital channel 399; it is not seen on Bright House Livonia or Cogeco Windsor. WDWO's over-the-air signal can be seen throughout Detroit's west side, as well as in Highland Park, most of Hamtramck, parts of Windsor, and the innermost western suburbs.
