On September 19, 2017, it was announced that WYCC will be going off the air on October 25, 2017. However, September 22, 2017, WTTW approached WYCC with a channel sharing agreement to stay on the air. WYCC then announced in a letter to employees that it would remain on the air through November 24, 2017; if a channel sharing agreement is reached, operation of WYCC's channels will be handled by WTTW, with a tentative plan to use "a combination of WYCC and WTTW brands and programming". WYCC signed off for good on November 27, 2017.
