Wisconsin, from a digital perspective...

As the digital television transition approaches, there has been a lot of buzz about the end of analog broadcasting and the need for consumers to make sure they can receive digital transmission in their homes.

A new benefit to that digital transmission is the ability for stations to offer more than one channel on their digital feed. WPT has now started to use one of the multi-cast channels to launch The Wisconsin Channel.

The channel features a collection of the finest Wisconsin-created and -produced content, including the state's history, current events and other interesting music, arts and academic programs.

The channel is available over-the-air on WPT-DT 2. But, if you don't yet have digital reception at your home, you can find The Wisconsin Channel online.
