- WAZE-TV (channel 19) is a defunct television station licensed to Madisonville, Kentucky, United States. It served the Evansville, Indiana television market from 1983 to 2013, and was most recently affiliated with The CW. The station's transmitter was located in Hanson, Kentucky. On March 24, 2011, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) canceled WAZE's license for failure to construct its full-power digital facility. The station continued to broadcast via low-power translators WAZE-LP (channel 17), WJPS-LP (channel 4) and WIKY-LP (channel 5), all licensed to Evansville, until January 2013, when all three were shut down. They served as in-town relays of the main signal. WAZE-TV's transmitter was located farther south than the other major Evansville stations because of FCC regulations requiring a station's transmitter to be no more than 15 miles (24 km) from the city of license—in this case, Madisonville, which is 50 miles (80 km) south of Evansville. As a result, despite its 2.7 million watt ERP, the channel 19 signal provided only grade B ("rimshot") coverage of Evansville itself, and was practically unviewable north and east of the city. The station relied on cable and satellite to reach most of its viewing area. However, many cable systems in the market (particularly on the Indiana side) did not carry it. (en)
