They operate omnidirectionally with a daytime power of 250 watts and a reduced nighttime power of 100 watts. Although presently classified as a Class D station, this station was originally classified as a "Class C [Class IV; Local] station 'grandfathered' as operating on a Class B [Class III; Regional] channel" one of only two such stations in the U.S. Official FCC license note: "CLASS IV ON REGIONAL CHANNEL; SEE §73.29" WMAM currently carries ESPN Radio.

By 1959, WMBV-TV moved to Green Bay and became WLUK-TV.[6] Ownership
