History
The station was founded on May 28, 1985; it first signed on the air in 1989 as W26AS, broadcasting on UHF channel 26. The station changed its call letters to WJYL-LP in 1996, then to WKQT-CA and subsequently to WJYL-CA in 2002, and finally to WNDA-CA in 2009.
In the fall of 2010, the station began to share programming with Louisville-based WKYI-CD (channel 24), which is its parent station. Shortly before September 2010, the station changed its callsign to WWJS-CA, but retained the WNDA name for branding purposes. Shortly after converting its signal to digital, the station changed its call sign to WWJS-CD, while still using "WNDA" as a brand (the "-CD" suffix in a station's callsign refers to a Class A low-power station that transmits a digital signal; the previous "-CA" appended implied transmission through analog signals). The station is now WKYI 24.3 though displays as Channel 9.1 on most televisions.

Newscasts
In January 2006, the station debuted a local newscast known as Indiana 9 News, which is produced by Independent News Network out of Davenport, Iowa. Stories are gathered by local reporters and then presented by anchors in Davenport, along with weather and sports segments. This program was cancelled in 2013, and was replaced by a rebroadcast of ABC-affiliate WHAS-TV (channel 11)'s 6:00 p.m. newscast that airs weeknights at 7:00 p.m. The station continued to air the Independent News Network's national newscast at 7:30 p.m. weeknights but that was discontinued in late 2014. In addition, the station carries the local newsmagazine program The Louisville Daily and a business discussion program Inside Indiana Business.
