The closing ledger · verified November 2026
Where the work stands: Mishawaka ends this section as it began it — a production city without a license. Two television stations, WSBT of South Bend and WSJV of Elkhart, are produced at 1301 East Douglas Road by Sinclair, in a building whose builder, Schurz Communications, keeps its own headquarters upstairs and no longer broadcasts at all. A second production seat, Federated Media's headquarters and Planet Radio studios on Edison Road, produces five radio stations licensed to four other cities, with one transmitter standing in this one. The heritage radio group that shared the Douglas Road building has gone back to Monroe Street in downtown South Bend, on a date the record reached does not give. The access channel the city co-owns with South Bend and the county is produced from the building WSBT left behind. No feature production has been documented on Mishawaka ground; no recording studio here has a documented catalogue; and no station anywhere on the dial is licensed to the city whose studios make so much of the valley's broadcast day. That is the production record at its true size — one great building, one office-park studio plant, and a set of honestly negative tests around them.
