History

The original construction permit for the station was granted on October 29, 1987 for operation on channel 46[1]; the station was assigned the call letters W46AV.[2] Originally owned by Tel-Radio Communications Properties, the permit was transferred to the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) in 1988.[3] A license to cover was issued August 16, 1990.[4] It moved to channel 51 in 2000[5] and became W51CU.[2]

TBN sold W51CU to Scranton Broadcasting Company, LLC in 2010.[6] Soon after the sale was approved (but while still under TBN ownership), the station changed its call letters to WGUD-LP.[2] Scranton plans to relaunch WGUD on September 1, 2010 as a FamilyNet affiliate, with some local programming.

Digital television

WGUD currently has a construction permit to flash cut to digital operations on channel 51.[6] A previous such permit, granted in 2006, expired on June 19, 2009.
