WUNK-CD

(channel 48) is a low-power, Class A television station licensed to Madison, Wisconsin serving as an affiliate of The CW.
==History==
WUNK-CD signed on in 1991 as W48LI, an affiliate of Channel America. It changed hands multiple times across the next decade.
In 1997, the station changed its callsign to WMTF-LP and began airing programming from American Independent Network (AIN). By 1999, the station rebranded to WUNK-LP, branding itself as "Uncle 48". This lasted until 2006.
By 2001, WUNK-LP's schedule mostly consisted of home shopping programs sourced from HSN and infomercials. It was bought by Cullman Broadcasting in 2004. 
In 2006, WUNK-LP would surprisingly beat out every other station in the market to become the charter affiliate of the fledgling CW network. The CW chose to affiliate with Channel 48 due to its already well-established and strong ties to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and an extensive cable availability. It would immediately drop all "Uncle 48" branding and switch to standard The CW ones. 
Due to Channel 48's low power, it's signal radius doesn't extend past the Madison city limits, and it relies on cable and its translator W69IN-D in New Glarus.
