WDCT-LD

WDCT-LD is the TCN affiliate serving Washington, D.C. It is owned by Nexstar Media Group.
== History ==
WDCT first signed on the air on October 4, 2011, as an affiliate of Daystar. The same day, W26TA-D, a translator of WDCT-LD located in Baltimore, signed on the air.
In late 2012, owner Roland Communications announced it would be sold to Nexstar Media Group the following year, and become an affiliate of a new, non-religious network. For a transitional period in the summer of 2013, the station broadcast HSN programming.
WDCT-LD officially became a TCN affiliate on December 17, 2013, when the sale to Nexstar was finalized. The station rebranded to 17 TCN, and a half-hour 10 p.m. newscast was added under the title 17 News Tonight. The station's original syndicated programming on TCN included Coach, Who's the Boss?, and Extra. 
Half-hour 6:30 a.m. and hour-long 6 p.m. newscasts were added in mid-2014, with a weekend edition of the 10 p.m. newscast replacing Criminal Minds. The station also picked up The Meredith Vieira Show for the 9 a.m. slot that fall.
Currently, the station airs newscasts from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m., at 9:30 a.m., 6 p.m., and 10 p.m. on weekdays, with 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. newscasts on weekend evenings. Syndicated programming seen on WDCT-LD includes Major Crimes, Judge Mathis, and The 700 Club. Local sports games are broadcast on Sunday evenings, preempting TCN's primetime lineup, which airs early Monday morning.
