WGCW

WGCW, virtual and UHF channel 24, is an educational independent station licensed to Covington, Kentucky, United States. The station is a semi-satellite of WGCT.
== History ==
=== As a full-time satellite (2007-2008) ===
WGCW served as a full-time satellite of WGCT from the station's sign-on in October 2007 up to the WGCT Board's reorganisation in 2008. Due to WGCW's sign-on in 2007, the station never broadcast in analog.
=== As a semi-satellite (2008-present) ===
As a semi-satellite of WGCT, WGCW began to air different schedules to that of its parent station, as well as newscasts focused to the area WGCW served. However, most non-news scheduled programs were just rescheduled programs that had previously aired on WGCT. In early 2009, with the other WGCT stations, WGCW began to air Create and World on their respective 15.3 and 15.4 subchannels, giving the Cincinnati market a second way to access these channels, as they were already aired on WEPG.
