WNDU-TV
WNDU-TV "NBC 16" virtual channel 16.1 (UHF digital channel 42) is an NBC-affiliated television station located in South Bend, Indiana, United States. The station is owned by Gray Television. WNDU maintains studios on State Road 933 on South Bend's northern side and its transmitter is located southeast of the St. Joseph County Fairgrounds on the city's south side. The station's studios also house production facilities for the syndicated agricultural news programs ''AgDay'' and ''U.S. Farm Report'', the former of which is broadcast locally by WNDU.
==History==
The station first signed on the air on July 15, 1955, originally broadcasting on UHF channel 46. WNDU-TV was owned by the Michiana Television Corporation, a subsidiary of the University of Notre Dame. The station took its call letters from WNDU radio (1490 AM, now WDND at 1620 AM and 92.9 FM, now WNDV-FM), which were also owned by the university until 1998. However, like its radio sisters, it is a full-fledged commercial station rather than a public broadcaster. In 1957, to much fanfare, WNDU-TV moved to UHF channel 16.
The station immediately took the NBC affiliation from WSJV (channel 28) and has been with the network ever since. WNDU-TV's early broadcast schedule included programs like ''Romper Room'' and the first local telecast of a Notre Dame football game. WNDU aired the children's program ''Sesame Street'' from 1970 to 1974 until non-commercial PBS member station WNIT (channel 34) signed on the air. From 1967 to 1986, WNDU aired ''Beyond Our Control'', a locally-produced sketch comedy program, which was presented as part of the station's involvement in the Junior Achievement program.〔''TV Guide'': "One Vice President Resigned Because He Was Failing Algebra", June 9–15, 1973.〕
On November 24, 2005, the University of Notre Dame entered into an agreement to sell the station to Gray Television for $85 million in an all-cash deal, with the university placing the money received from the sale in an endowment.〔(WNDU to be sold to Gray Television ), ''The South Bend Tribune'', November 24, 2005.〕 The sale closed on March 5, 2006, after which the Federal Communications Commission granted Gray a crossownership waiver for WNDU and Goshen-based newspaper ''The Goshen News''. This was necessary because the FCC prohibits the common ownership of a newspaper and a television station in the same market (Gray eventually spun off the ''Times'' and four other newspapers the following year into a new company called Triple Crown Media, which was subsequently merged with Host Communications).〔(Gray Closes on WNDU Sale ), ''Broadcasting & Cable'', March 6, 2006.〕
