to affiliate with WDNI-CD, making it the first television station in the Indianapolis market to carry programming from a major commercial Spanish-language network since WIIH-CA (channel 17) discontinued its affiliation with Univision in January 2009. WDNI-CD's affiliation switch to Telemundo became official on March 11, 2013. WDNI-CD blacked out Telemundo's first ever Spanish-language coverage of the Indianapolis 500 in 2022 to prevent Central Indiana viewers from attempting to watch the race live before the tape-delayed broadcast on WTHR, as per the requirements of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. News operation WDNI-CD presently shows seven hours of locally produced newscasts (more like a public affairs format) each week (with one hour daily); the station currently does not produce any traditional newscasts other than periodic local weather updates and forecasts. The newscast that the station produces is the hour-long public affairs program En Contexto, which airs weekend mornings at 9:00 a.m. and weekday mornings at 5:00 a.m.; the program is hosted by Luis Navarro, who served as a special assignment reporter and main weather forecaster for WIIH's 6 and 11 p.m. newscasts during that station's tenure as a Univision affiliate. Technical information Subchannels The station's digital signal is multiplexed: Analog-to-digital conversion The station shut down its analog signal and flash-cut its digital signal into operation on UHF channel 19 in February 2009. Because the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) granted a license upgrade to Class A status after it transitioned to digital-only broadcasts, WDNI's call letters were not given an "-LD" or "-CA" suffix, but rather the then-rarely used "-CD" suffix.
