WBKP is the CW-affiliated television station for Michigan's Central Upper Peninsula that is licensed to Calumet, part of The CW Plus. It broadcasts a standard definition digital signal on VHF channel 5 from a transmitter on Tolonen Hill near unincorporated Painesdale of Adams Township. The station can also be seen on Charter channel 2. Owned by the Marks Radio Group, WBKP is sister to ABC affiliate WBUP and the two outlets share studios on Ash Street in Ishpeming of Ishpeming Township.
Since WBKP cannot be seen over the air in Marquette, it is simulcasted in standard definition on WBUP's second digital subchannel (VHF channel 10.2) from a transmitter, south of Ely Township, in unincorporated Marquette County.
WBKP (standing for "Beautiful Keweenaw Peninsula") launched on October 30, 1996, as the market's fourth television station from facilities in the historic Calumet and Hecla Bath House. The Monday Night Football game that night between the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles was the first ABC program shown on the station. Before it launched, the Central Upper Peninsula could see the network from affiliations of WLUC-TV in Marquette, and before 1992 from WJMN-TV in Escanaba (a semi-satellite of Green Bay, Wisconsin's WFRV-TV) that was purchased by CBS and switched to that network in March 1992.
The other day I said to you
I know what you want to do
I could never sit around
While you´re feeling down
And I could never compromise
My situation lies
And I would never feel the same
Would you be the blame?
Would you leave me
Still uneasy
Locked inside of
Torn in spite of
I don´t want to, I don´t want to know
Sometimes when you´re all alone
Hiding what you´re thinking of
I could never sit around
While you´re feeling down
I could never see my self
Chasing something else
I would never get away
Would you feel the same?
Would you leave me
Still uneasy
Trapped inside of
Torn in spite of
I don´t want to, I don´t want to know
Sometimes when I´m all alone
Feeling what you´re thinking of
And I could never sit around
Chained to frozen ground
I could never see my self
Playing for something else
And I could never walk away
Would you feel the same?
Would you leave me
Still uneasy
Trapped inside of
Torn in spite of
