WYCW (channel 62), branded Local 62, is an independent television station licensed to Asheville, North Carolina, United States, serving Western North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina. It is owned by Nexstar Media Group alongside Spartanburg, South Carolina–licensed CW outlet WSPA-TV (channel 7). The two stations share studios on International Drive (next to the I-26 and I-85 Business/Veterans Parkway interchange) in Spartanburg and a transmitter on Hogback Mountain in northeastern Greenville County, South Carolina, southwest of Tryon, North Carolina. This station began broadcasting in June 1986 as WASV-TV. When it was on the air, it aired religious programming or home shopping. It was off the air between 1991 and 1994 and again from January 1996 to October 1997. WASV-TV was acquired by Pappas Telecasting and, after constructing a new tower in North Carolina, returned to the air in October 1997 as an affiliate of UPN and The WB. WSPA-TV's then-owner, Spartan Communications, programmed WASV-TV under a local marketing agreement with Pappas. The WB affiliation had already been signed for by another local station beginning in 1999, and channel 62 became a sole UPN affiliate. Spartan Communications's successor, Media General, acquired channel 62 outright in January 2002 and launched a 10 p.m. local newscast. When UPN and The WB merged in 2006, WASV-TV became the CW affiliate and changed its call sign to WYCW. Since 2018, WYCW and WSPA have been broadcast from the same transmitter in South Carolina. On August 1, 2026, the CW affiliation moved to WSPA as part of a broader programming shift, making WYCW an independent station.
