Station history in Sheboygan

For seventeen years, the station acted as the local translator station for TBN, first transmitting from the downtown Firstar Building on channel 20 as W20AG. The station then moved to a new transmitting facility around 1999 on Sheboygan's south side along Weeden Creek Road (CTH EE), in an industrial park just west of a WisDOT emissions testing station on land leased from Lakeshore Technical College (which formerly broadcast their college bulletin board channel W08BW with a SCOLA affiliation on channel 8 from the site until the early 2000s). The next year the station would move to channel 16 as W16BS, continuing to transmit the TBN schedule without local deviation.
