 Although considered a separate station in its own right, it technically operates as a full-time satellite of ABC affiliate WAOW (channel 9) in Wausau, which also operates semi-satellite WYOW (channel 34) in Eagle River.However, in an unusual arrangement, the big three network is actually seen on the second digital subchannel of WMOW.Therefore, this actually makes its main channel a straight satellite of CW affiliate WAOW-DT2 (through the CW+ national service).
