WVUP-CD
WVUP-CD is a low-power television station licensed to Parkersburg, West Virginia, United States. It is a repeater station of WVUP-DT (channel 20), which serves as the primary affiliate of The CW Television Network and MyNetworkTV for the Parkersburg-Marietta-Athens television market. WVUP-CD broadcasts on digital channel 28.
As a low-power station, WVUP-CD's signal has a more limited broadcast radius than a full-power television station like WVUP-DT. Its purpose is to extend the reach of WVUP-DT's programming to areas where the main station's signal may be weak or unavailable, effectively acting as a fill-in translator. The "-CD" suffix denotes its status as a Class A low-power television station, which offers certain protections against interference from other stations.
WVUP-CD is owned and operated by Gray Television, the owner of WVUP-DT. The station broadcasts in digital format, offering improved picture and sound quality compared to the analog broadcasts of the past. Programming on WVUP-CD mirrors that of WVUP-DT, including The CW's primetime and daytime offerings, MyNetworkTV's syndicated programming, and locally produced content.
