WAQP is an inspirational broadcast television station licensed to Saginaw, Michigan, servicing the Flint-Saginaw-Bay City, Michigan DMA. WAQP broadcasts on digital virtual channel 49 from transmission facilities near Chesaning. The WAQP signal covers Saginaw, Flint, Bay City and Midland, and goes as far southwest as Lansing.
The station also operates a translator station in Lansing, which uses the callsign W27CN. That channel was originally W69BJ channel 69, but it relocated to channel 27 in November 2003. As of July 2009, W27CN has been broadcasting in digital-only format.
WAQP also originally had a repeater serving Jackson, W59CA channel 59, which was relocated to Ann Arbor in November 2000 and rechristened "W27CJ" channel 27, repeating a low-powered TCT station in Detroit, WDWO. In October 2007 W27CJ was sold to SMG Media Group, for $80,000 and is now WHDA-LP.

[edit] Analog-to-Digital Conversion
WAQP shut down its analog signal on June 12, 2009 [1], as part of the DTV transition in the United States. The station remained on its pre-transition channel 48 [2] using PSIP to display its virtual channel as 49.
The W27CN digital broadcast uses the station's former analog channel 27 number, both in actual channel designation and via PSIP display, and mirrors the main WAQP broadcast.
