KWJD-LP is a television station in Van Nuys, California, licensed to broadcast locally on UHF channel 25. Founded May 21, 1998, the station is owned by Friendly Broadcasting Company. Although the station is silent, it is still licensed by the FCC.

The station originally applied for a construction permit on March 31, 1981; however it waited 17 years for approval of the permit by the FCC. Soon after, the station was licensed by the FCC and commenced broadcasting. Programming on the station during this time is currently unknown, although it did broadcast a test pattern.

On March 2005, the FCC ordered the station to cease operations. Friendly Broadcasting Company argued that the FCC's actions were erroneous in nature, as the owner stated that the FCC had allegedly misinterpreted it with an unrelated company with the same name, and that it had transferred ownership to the company without the FCC's approval.

It is currently unknown if the station will resume operations, nor it is clear about the station's future. However, should KWJD resume broadcasting, co-channel interference may occur with KNET-LP, also broadcasting on channel 25, in some areas.
