WIIH-CA is a Univision affiliate in Indianapolis, Indiana. It is owned and operated by LIN TV, and sister station to WISH-TV and WNDY-TV. It broadcasts on UHF channel 17 and digital channel (TBA) as a Class A television station. Indianapolis is the 62nd largest market for Hispanic viewing in the United States. WIIH-CA offers a Spanish programming format featuring news, talk shows, dramas, movies and other first rate Spanish programming.

On May 18, 2007, LIN TV announced that it was exploring strategic alternatives that could result in the sale of the company.[1]

On September 15, 2008, WISH-TV announced that LIN TV and Bright House Cable have not been able to reach an agreement for carriage of WISH-TV, WNDY-TV, and WIIH-CA on the cable service. LIN TV is seeking compensation for carriage, as other cable networks receive. LIN TV has reached agreements with all television service providers in the Indianapolis area except Bright House. The current agreement with Bright House will expire on October 2, 2008[1].

LIN TV's contract with Univision expires on December 31, 2008, and as of January 1, 2009, WIIH-CA will no longer carry Univision programming, but will instead broadcast programming from sister station WISH-TV. Bright House, Comcast, and AT&T U-verse Broadband TV received Univision programming from WIIH-CA; Comcast and AT&T plan to secure independent contracts with Univision, but Bright House has decided to not pursue a contract with the network[2].
