Somehow, people must have missed this post. I was really looking
forward to discussion about the situation with out of market UPN
stations in a market as large as Milwaukee.

WCGV lost its UPN affiliation at the start of 1998, due to some contractual disagreements between the network and Sinclair, WCGV's owner. Around that same time, many of Sinclair's UPN-affiliated stations dropped the network, and switched to The WB, while WCGV briefly reverted back to an independent. UPN was back on WCGV before the start of the next TV season.
 
I'm surprised WMVT wasn't mentioned. You know, the other half of Milwaukee PBS?
