Broadcast — the Market; No Signal Seated in Lakeville

The South Bend–Elkhart ("Michiana") market · pointer, as assigned

Every signal that reaches Lakeville is seated somewhere else. The market's full-power television stands at pointer: WNDU-TV 16 (NBC; formerly Notre Dame-owned, Gray Television since 2005), WSBT-TV 22 (CBS, Fox on 22.2 — signed on 21 December 1952, originally owned by the South Bend Tribune), WSJV 28, WNIT 34 (PBS), WHME-TV 46, with low-power WBND-LD 57 ("ABC57") and WCWW-LD 25 in the South Bend cluster. The market's founding press-broadcast fact is the Tribune's: WSBT radio (960 AM) first aired 3 July 1922 as WGAZ, licensed to the South Bend Tribune that June, its call letters becoming WSBT in September 1925 for its owner — the county paper of record owned the AM flagship and then the CBS television station, which is this county's consolidation story in one line; no Lakeville joint-operating case exists, the town's one paper being a group weekly. WETL (91.7 FM) is the South Bend school corporation's station, housed at Riley High School since 2005; WVPE (88.1) is the market's NPR member, owned by Elkhart Community Schools. No station is licensed to Lakeville, Indiana in any list returned, and no Lakeville-seated signal surfaced in any search — a tested negative at list strength, its settler an FCC city-of-license query, not run.

The broadcast record's later digs stand at lk-digi-news-broadcast-streets and lk-digi-news-black-press (assembly pointer, DELTA-I-3).
