WSOT-LD (channel 27) is a low-power religious television station in Marion, Indiana, United States. The station is owned by Sunnycrest Baptist Church.

History

The station began operations on December 23, 1990, as W25BN on channel 25. Five years later, the station changed its call sign to WSOT-LP and was added to more local cable systems. The station moved in 2000 to channel 57 after channel 25 was granted to WRTV-DT in Indianapolis.[2] By 2004, it aired local programming including Sunnycrest church services, local high school sports, and a public affairs program.[3] The station converted to digital broadcasting on channel 27 in 2011.
