W31EZ-D, virtual channel 25 (UHF digital channel 31), is a low-power HSN-affiliated[2] television station licensed to Chicago, Illinois, United States. The station is owned by HC2 Holdings.

History

The station’s construction permit was issued on October 7, 1992 under the calls of W52BR. It changed to W25DW on July 7, 2008, to W25DW-D on March 8, 2011, and to W31EZ-D on October 27, 2020.[3]

The station was silent due to construction of the shared channel 31 facility, administered by WESV-LD; the two stations are sharing to resolve a mutual exclusivity in their applications.
