WJSJ-CD (channel 51) is a low-power, Class A television station in Tipton, Indiana, United States. The station is owned by 5GTV LLC.

The station was formerly WIWU-CD, owned by Indiana Wesleyan University, until it was sold to Frank Copsidas in December 2020.[2] As WIWU-CD, it aired local entertainment, sports, and news programming for Marion and Grant County, in addition to airing religious programming from TLN, Cornerstone Television and WHT. The sale came more than a year after Indiana Wesleyan University announced its intention to drop its broadcast operations and focus on digital services.[3]
