WVTV

==WOKY-TV==
===1953–1955===
WVTV launched in Fall 1953 as WOKY-TV, taking its call sign from radio sister station WOKY.
==WXIX-TV==
===1955–1958===
WOKY-TV would be purchased by CBS in late 1954, and by February 1955 would become Milwaukee's CBS affiliate under a new call sign, WXIX-TV.
===1958–1959===

WXIX-TV would relocate to channel 18 in 1958.
===1959-196?===
In 1959, CBS would sell WXIX-TV and move its programming to a VHF station with a stronger reach (the previously independent WITI). WXIX-TV would be off the air for a brief period, returning as an independent station later in 1959.
===196?-1963===
==WUHF-TV==
===1963–1966===

With another ownership change in 1963, WXIX-TV would become WUHF-TV. While the new call sign was a nod to the station's UHF dial status, incorporating a daschund's silhouette in the logo served as a visual play on a dog's bark ("woof" = WUHF).

===1966–1971===
WUHF-TV would be sold again in 1966, this time to WKY Television System, which would eventually become Gaylord Broadcasting (it's known as Ryman Hospitality Properties today). With the sale, the station would change call signs again, to the present-day WVTV.
===1971–1978===
===1978–1987===
Although WVTV was the strongest independent station at the time, the station declined to affiliate with the then-upstart Fox network on October 9, 1986; the affiliation instead went to WCGV-TV on March 15, 1987.

===1987===
WVTV adopted the "Super 18" brand as it became a "Superstation," having launched on cable systems throughout Wisconsin. It also also used the tagline "Wisconsin's Superstation" at the start of the launch, but kept the "Super 18" branding until 1998. Note the separated circle parts of the '8' here.
