In the first season, the station was scheduled to air 19 matches, all simulcasts from Bally Sports North. In order to accommodate scheduling conflicts on Bally Sports North, WUCW aired five Minnesota Timberwolves games in April and May 2021 under the branding "Bally Sports Extra on The CW Twin Cities". In April 2022, WUCW aired two Minnesota Twins games and a Minnesota Wild game. Technical information Subchannels The station's digital signal is multiplexed: Analog-to-digital conversion WUCW (as with most Sinclair-owned television stations) shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 23, on February 17, 2009, the original target date in which full-power television stations in the United States were to transition from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate (which was later pushed back to June 12, 2009). The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 22. Translators The broadcast signal of WUCW is also extended by way of six digital translators, owned by local translator associations, in central and southern Minnesota: Alexandria: Frost: Jackson: St. James: Walker: (main subchannel only) Willmar: Notes References External links 1982 establishments in Minnesota Antenna TV affiliates Charge!
