The only non-FCC source currently in the article is the station's listing on RabbitEars.info (which shows three channels of nothing — note that the article asserts It is currently not known what programming the station broadcasts.). The only apparently-known affiliation was carriage of All News Channel that supposedly ended in 2004 (notwithstanding that ANC shut down in 2002). I can't imagine a station like this comes close to even approaching the GNG. (And that's not even getting into the potential of these obscure articles attracting less-than-accurate information… if you see any claims elsewhere that this is a Nexstar-owned CBS affiliate (which I only recently reverted out of the article), you're looking at either a mirror (not a valid source) or someone that probably got their info from Wikipedia.)

Delete Station is in Valparaiso carrying a CBS station from Indianapolis when WBBM-TV is nearby? Nope, not real, and this doesn't pass GNG; I don't even think this is an actively broadcasting station. Nate • (chatter) 15:32, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
