WANE-TV (channel 15) is a television station in Fort Wayne, Indiana, United States, affiliated with CBS and owned by Nexstar Media Group.

The station's studios and transmitter are located on West State Boulevard in the Tower Heights section of the city.

The station signed on the air on September 26, 1954, as WINT, originally owned by Tri-State Television and broadcasting from a transmitter in Auburn.

[3] WANE-DT2 also featured repeats of newscasts seen on the main channel as well as Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne basketball games.

In September 2006, UPN programming was dropped after the network merged with The WB (seen locally on WPTA-operated cable-only outlet "WBFW") to form The CW.

The company reached agreements with all television service providers in the Fort Wayne area, except for TWC and Bright House.

[7][8] Nexstar announced on June 13, 2016, that it would keep WANE and sell WFFT-TV as well as four other stations (including now-former sister stations WLFI-TV in Lafayette and WTHI-TV in Terre Haute) to Heartland Media, through its USA Television MidAmerica Holdings joint venture with MSouth Equity Partners, for $115 million.

Unlike most CBS affiliates in the Eastern Time Zone, the station does not air local newscasts in the weeknight 5:30 p.m. timeslot due to the syndicated program Inside Edition.

This was most easily attributed to continued viewer resentment towards WPTA and Granite for the elimination of WISE-TV's news department and arguably its identity and history.

On May 18, 2009, WPTA and WISE-TV became the first two television stations in the Fort Wayne market to upgrade their newscasts to 16:9 widescreen enhanced definition.

The station's digital signal is multiplexed: On August 7, 2009, WANE began offering Mobile TV using BlackBerry.
