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 and shares its signal with W31EZ-D.
History[edit]
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.[1] The sale was closed on December 6 and the station signed on with Estrella TV programming the following day.[2]
