What is "wnuv"

WNUV, virtual channel 54 (digital channel 40), is a CW- affiliated television station located in Baltimore, Maryland. The station is owned by Cunningham Broadcasting, and is operated by the Sinclair Broadcast Group through a local marketing agreement. It is part of a virtual triopoly with Fox affiliate and Sinclair flagship WBFF and MyNetworkTV affiliate WUTB. All three stations share studios and office facilities on "Television Hill" in the Woodberry neighborhood of Baltimore, while WNUV's transmitter was initially based in Catonsville in southwest suburban Baltimore County, but moved to Television Hill during the DTV (digital television broadcasting systems) switch to the 1280 foot tall WBFF-TV tower, which stands adjacent to the earlier landmark "candleabra tower" from the late 1950s, also on the then renamed "Television Hill" or "TV Hill" for the city's original three main VHF stations ( WMAR, WBAL, and WAAM).

WNUV was formerly carried on DirecTV from January 2007 to January 2008, as the satellite provider's distant CW affiliate, intended to serve the few areas of the eastern United States where The CW's programming is not available through a local station; it has since been replaced by WDCW in Washington, D.C.
