WWSV-TV

WWSV-TV (channel 27) is a television station licensed to Thunder Bay, Ohio, United States, serving Cedar Woods, Hartstead, and Lindsay as an affiliate of CBS. It is owned by Swift Television Group alongside independent outlet WPRH-TV (channel 36).
The station has been affiliated with CBS since June 26, 2021, when it ended its 56-year affiliation with ABC (with ABC going to WEYF-TV, channel 5 on that date). This is channel 27's second stint with CBS; it was a secondary affiliate with that network for six years at the station's inception, prior to moving to WEYF as a primary affiliate in 1965.
== History ==
Channel 27 began broadcasting on July 17, 1954 as an NBC affiliate under the call letters WNVS. It had a secondary CBS affiliation from its sign on until 1960. 
In 1961, the station's local newscasts debuted under the title The News with Abraham Baker. This newscast aired weeknights at 11 p.m. The 6 p.m. broadcast was added in 1964. 
In August 1965, the station became an ABC affiliate. The NBC affiliation went to WNDH. 
WNVS changed its call letters to WWSV in 1979. Weekend 6 and 11 p.m. newscasts were added as well, and the station rebranded to WWSV 27 (News).
The station's morning show, CBS 27 News AM (then known as WWSV 27 Morning News), premiered in 1982 as a half-hour 6:30 a.m. newscast. The newscast expanded to 6 a.m. in 1990, and eventually to its current 4:30 a.m. start time in 2010. Confection Broadcasting acquired the station in 2014.
On June 26, 2021, the station swapped affiliations with WEYF, reuniting with CBS. WEYF became an ABC owned-and-operated station. 
The station was later acquired by its current owner Swift Television Group in July 2022, as a result of the company's acquisition of most of Confection's stations. 
Currently, syndicated programming seen on WWSV includes Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy!, The Kelly Clarkson Show, and Rachael Ray. The station also produces a Sunday morning public affairs show, Inside Ohio, which airs Sunday mornings at 11:30 a.m.
