WCWW-LP is the low-powered CW network affiliate in South Bend, Indiana. It is owned by Chicago-based Weigel Broadcasting, who also owns South Bend's ABC affiliate WBND, and MyNetworkTV affiliate WMYS. The station's fomer calls were WMWB-LP throughout their affiliation with the WB.

On March 1, 2006, Weigel officials announced that WMWB would affiliate with the new CW network when it premiered in September, and Channel 25 changed their calls to WCWW-LP on the day of the network's launch on September 18, 2006.

In early August 2008, Weigel Broadcasting agreed to sell all three of its South Bend stations, including WCWW, to Schurz Communications, the longtime owner of the local CBS affiliate WSBT-TV, for undisclosed terms.
