Banam sold WTVW to Petracom Broadcasting in May 1995. A 20-percent equity stake in Petracom was purchased by Fox soon afterward, eventually leading to a three-way affiliation swap in which WTVW ended its 39-year affiliation with ABC and joined Fox on December 3, 1995, with ABC moving to former CBS affiliate WEHT and CBS moving to former Fox affiliate WEVV (WTVW is one of three original ABC affiliates in the state of Indiana to have switched affiliation to Fox, the other two being WAWV-TV in Terre Haute and WSJV in South Bend).
