WDJT-TV
On December 11, 1994, WDJT became the sixth station in Milwaukee to carry CBS. The network first aligned with WTMJ from 1947 to 1953, followed by now-defunct WCAN-TV (channel 25) from 1953 to 1955, WVTV (then known as WXIX) from 1955 to 1959, WITI from 1959 to 1961, WISN-TV from 1961 to 1977, and WITI again from 1977 to 1994. The first CBS program to air on channel 58 that day was "CBS News Sunday Morning". Some existing syndicated programming on WDJT's schedule which would otherwise air in CBS-designated timeslots was either moved to overnight slots on the station or turned over to sister station W65BT (now WBME-CD, channel 41) to fulfill contracts.
WBBM-TV
For most of the time since the mid-1990s, WBBM-TV has been one of CBS' weakest owned-and-operated stations, generally rating behind WLS-TV, NBC owned-and-operated station WMAQ-TV (channel 5) and at times behind WGN-TV and Fox-owned WFLD (channel 32), despite the strong ratings of CBS' daytime and prime time shows in recent years. The station made some viewership gains during 2009, but has generally remained in third place in the ratings, partially due to its digital signal on low-band VHF channel 3, which operated at a lower power than the Chicago market's other full-power television stations in order to avoid interfering with the analog signal of WWMT in Kalamazoo (the same station that indirectly forced the 1953 allocation switch from channel 4 to channel 2).
