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.
WUCW
In preparation for the affiliation switch, KMWB changed its call sign to WUCW (in reference to The CW and predecessors The WB and UPN; the station was allowed to use a "W" as its first call letter instead of a "K" because its transmitter and studios are located on the eastern side of the Mississippi River, like WFTC) on June 19, 2006, to reflect its forthcoming CW affiliation. Ironically, despite three call letter changes, WUCW's licensee is still listed as "KLGT Licensee." On August 16, 2006, WUCW changed its on-air branding from "WB23" to "The CW Twin Cities" and then in 2013 to "CW23" and back to "The CW Twin Cities" in 2016. In the past, the station used to carry Minnesota Timberwolves basketball games. WUCW has a history of supporting homegrown comedy, showing the first "Transylvania Television" special on October 12, 2007, and the new one-hour "TVTV Halloween Special" on October 22, 2010. In 2014, this station revived a cult favorite from the 1980s, the "Melon Drop" New Year's Eve TV special in 2014, and followed it up in 2015.
