History
Channel 69 first signed on the air on June 6, 1988, as WBUU, an educational independent station founded by Butler University. It changed its call letters to WTBU in 1991.In 1992, WTBU joined PBS as its fourth member station in the Indianapolis market—after WFYI, Bloomington-based WTIU and Muncie-licensed WIPB ; through PBS' Program Differentiation Plan, a fraction of the network's programming was distributed between all four stations, with WFYI carrying most of PBS' programs as the primary PBS outlet for the market. In 2004, Butler University sold WTBU to Indianapolis Community Television, Inc., an arm of the Daystar Television Network. The new owners began carrying programming from the religious broadcast network.
