WAZE-TV is a television station in Madisonville, Kentucky, in the United States, serving the Evansville, Indiana DMA. A current affiliate of the CW Television Network, it broadcasts on channel 19 and is owned by Roberts Broadcasting, who bought it from previous owner South Central Communications in 2006 (according to FCC files).

The station also operates three low-powered translators. Two of them, WAZE-LP, channel 17 and WIKY-LP, channel 5, are licensed to Evansville and serve as in-town relays of the main WAZE signal. The other, W66CT channel 66, is in Mount Vernon, Indiana. WAZE's transmitter is located farther south than the other major Evansville stations because of FCC regulations requiring a station's transmitter to be no more than 15 miles from the city of license--in this case, Madisonville, which is 50 miles south of Evansville. As a result, the channel 19 signal provides only a grade B ("rimshot") signal to Evansville itself and is all but unviewable in most of the Indiana and Illinois portions of the market. The station must rely on cable coverage to reach most of its viewing area.

WAZE signed on in 1983 as WLCN. It was originally an independent station that ran mostly Christian programing along with segments of HSN Spree. On November 1 1997, it became a WB affiliate and changed its calls to WWAZ-TV. In 1999, it began branding as WAZE-TV, after its Evansville repeater, and changed its call letters to match in 2000. WWAZ-TV calls are now located in the Green Bay area on channel 68 affiliated with FamilyNet.

WAZE simulcasts KSDK's coverage of the St. Louis Cardinals.

Soon after taking control, Roberts disabled the station's old Website at "wazetv.com". A new site at "cwaze.com" debuted in 2008.

Newscasts

The station airs the newscast "The Daily Buzz" weekdays mornings 5 to 8 AM. At one point, WEHT produced a 9PM newscast for WAZE.
