History

Waubonsee Community College, a community college serving the Aurora area, launched the station on channel 54 as W54BE. Programming included distance education telecourses from the college and a community bulletin board.[1] The station moved to channel 40 in 2008. The college marketed the station as primarily on cable: Comcast channel 99 or 17; Mediacom channel 15; or AT&T U-Verse channel 99.[2]

The college was not able to construct a digital facility for the station, citing severe budget problems with Illinois state funding and the local district's real estate tax base as reasons.[3] In April 2012, the college filed to sell W40CN to Local Media TV Holdings.[4]

gollark: Maybe I should add a hint...
gollark: I was *surprised* by how many people somehow *did not get it*.
gollark: The uninstall thing is meant to be mildly complex and prevent programs from automatically uninstalling it by queueing key events.
gollark: Instead of just... [search engine]ing it.
