WVCY-TV is a religious television station affiliated with FamilyNet in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin viewing area; it broadcasts on channel 30 (on digital television, channel 22). The station first went on the air on January 11, 1983.
The station is noncommercial and viewer-supported. Unlike other religious television stations, it does not carry CCM, or signs and wonders televangelists (like Benny Hinn). The station does air some programming from FamilyNet.
WVCY's transmitter operates at a power of 1000 kW, and can be seen through southeastern Wisconsin over the air and on cable television.
WVCY was offered the CBS affiliation in 1994 when WITI announced it would switch to Fox. It had already been turned down by WTMJ, WISN (which had been affiliated with CBS from 1961 through 1977), WVTV (which was a CBS O&O in the 1950s), WCGV, and WJJA. WVCY declined and CBS went to WDJT just days before WITI switched to Fox.
