WESV-LD, virtual channel 40 (UHF digital channel 31), is a low-power Estrella TV owned-and-operated television station licensed to Chicago, Illinois, United States. The station is owned by Estrella Media. The station transmits from the Willis Tower.
History
Prior to becoming an Estrella TV affiliate, this station was licensed to Palatine and it was owned by Trinity Broadcasting Network. It was used as a translator of full-power station WWTO-TV (channel 35) in LaSalle for Chicago's northwest suburbs before moving to Chicago proper in the digital age. Liberman bought the license in February 2010.[2] The sale was closed on December 6 and the station signed on with Estrella TV programming the following day.[3]
