WTWI-TV

== Early Ages (1969-1979) ==
WTWI ABC56, was set to replace WTRE NBC23 (1955-1968) by 1969. The channel started airing news, weather, and sports programming in fall of 1970. WTWI was and is the full service television station to Trego, Danbury, Town of Swiss, Spooner, Hinkley MN, and other communities. ABC originally didn't want to have WTWI as an Affiliate because it only was servicing a small area, but was bribed by the owners of WTWI-TV. They took the money and made WTWI an ABC affiliate under the name WTRE (W TREgo) ABC11 until 1976 becoming WTWI ABC11, 1978 WTWI ABC32.
== Middle Ages (1979-1999) ==
1979 was the original-proposed time to name WTWI ABC32, ABC56 (still WTWI). The plan went through on December 9th 1981. The Moscow Winter Olympics (1980) was played illegally on accident due to the boycott. WTWI was not notified of the change, so they still played it for the length of the Olympics until they finished. The FCC stopped programming for 5 days after that accidental act. In 1993 the City of Trego, along with WTWI sued the FCC for 5.8 thousand dollars due to false programming stop. The City of Trego, and WTWI lost the lawsuit and was forced to stop programming for 1 year. 
== The Programming Stop (1993-94) ==
After the lawsuit, the FCC forced WTWI to stop all programming for 1 year. People were stuck without news as the televisions, could not pick up signals farther than the WTWI broadcasting area. People bought portable televisions and drove to bigger cities, such as Hudson WI, Duluth, MN and even Moline, IL to reach other TV stations. On WTWI, the screen would read, and would have a Text-To-Speech voice saying "The FCC has demanded WTWI to stop programming until January 6th 1994. We are sorry for the inconvenience. As well for the Production, Newscast, and Reporter Crew at WTWI"
== Current Age (1999-2024) ==
WTWI has a new segment named WeatherTime. It goes from 1 am to 3am. It first started on June 19th 2001. MyTV 21 (Servicing Hayward, New Post, and Reserve, all in WI) shut down in 2007 and merged with WTWI to service the cities originally serviced by MyTV 21. WTWI is on AT&T DirecTV, Frontier FiOS, and Comcast Xfinity Cable.
