WDWO is a television station in Detroit, Michigan, which broadcasts the programming of the Tri-State Christian Television (TCT) religious network, in addition to many shows from TBN.

The station signed on in 1993 as W44AR channel 44, owned by a local religious organisation, Detroit World Outreach.

The station went silent in July 1999, due to WWJ-TV starting up its digital signal on that channel, but returned to air on channel 18 on February 25, 2000, under TCT ownership. The station was sold, apparently since DWO couldn't afford keeping the station, or ebduring any expenses to move the channel.

The station also has a rebroadcaster on channel 27 in Ann Arbor, which uses the callsign W27CJ. That channel was originally W59CA channel 59, a repeater of Saginaw's WAQP, serving Jackson, which was relocated to Ann Arbor in November 2000 and rechristened "W27CJ".

WDWO is one of two TBN affiliates serving Detroit -- another station, W66BV is a TBN-owned repeater of its satellite feed.

Neither Comcast Detroit, Bright House Livonia nor Cogeco Windsor has WDWO in their line-ups; however, the national TBN feed can be seen on Comcast channel 70 from 2PM to 2AM (shared with The Inspirational Network), and on Bright House digital channel 116.
