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.

The station also gathered most news for CBS Radio in Milwaukee until the start of 2016 (WTMJ Radio now currently holds a dual CBS Radio/ABC Radio News affiliation and also provides coverage to CBS Radio), due to the lack of any area radio station airing the network's hourly newscasts (which were broadcast by WOKY, which does not have a news division, until a September 2008 format change); it also has a forecast and advertising agreement with the stations of the Milwaukee Radio Alliance, which include WLDB (93.3 FM), WLUM-FM (102.1 FM) and WZTI (1290 AM). WDJT maintains a traffic car where a photojournalist with a 3G connection back to the studios with a dashboard camera (branded by the station as iCAM) traverses the area's freeway system where possible each morning and on some evenings to report current traffic conditions or nearby breaking news, in lieu of a news helicopter.
