'''WZDS-LD''', virtual channel 5 ([[UHF]] digital channel 18), is a [[Heroes & Icons]] [[owned-and-operated station]] [[Digital terrestrial television|digital]] [[Low-power broadcasting|low-powered]] [[television station]] that is licensed to and located in [[Evansville, Indiana]], United States. The station is owned by [[Chicago]]-based [[Weigel Broadcasting]]. The station transmits its signal from tower located near [[John James Audubon State Park]] in [[Henderson, Kentucky]], sharing tower space with [[CBS]] primary/[[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] subchannel-only affiliate [[WEVV-TV]].<ref name=wzds>[http://www.rabbitears.info/market.php?request=station_search&callsign=188624#station Digital TV Market Listing for WZDS-LD]</ref> |

==History== |
|||
The FCC issued a construction permit to [[DTV America|DTV America Corporation]] on August 12, 2012, under callsign W12DN-D. The station's callsign was changed to the current WZDS-LD on September 6, 2016. Still silent, the station was sold to [[HC2 Holdings]] in 2018. The station went on the air on December 7, 2021,<ref>[https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-378569A1.pdf REPORT NO. PN-2-211209-01 | PUBLISH DATE: 12/09/2021]</ref> three months after the station was sold to [[Weigel Broadcasting]] in September. WZDS's sign on marked the return of Heroes & Icons to the Evansville area following the event of [[WTSN-CD]] having dropped their affiliation in favor of [[Antenna TV]]. In addition, WZDS also signed on three additional subchannels to accommodate Wiegel's other networks, [[Start TV]], [[Decades (TV network)|Decades]] and [[Movies!]]. In April 2022, the station's DT5 subchannel was launched to broadcast the company's newest network, [[Story Television]]. |
|||
The station is broadcasting on the former frequency of [[WJTS-CD]] in nearby [[Jasper, Indiana]], which has moved to UHF channel 24 prior to WZDS's sign-on. |
