Owned by Weigel Broadcasting Co., WDJT first hit the airwaves in 1994, bringing viewers a lineup of classic reruns and beloved movies. On March 18 of that same year, we launched our first newscast and since then, our audience has trusted us to deliver the news and explain how it affects their lives. Today, we produce more than 40 hours of local news each week across both CBS 58 and our fully independent sister station, WMLW. In addition to our award-winning news coverage, we are proud to serve as over-the-air partners for the Milwaukee Bucks. We also produce CBS 58 Sunday Mornings, a weekly, long-form program that spotlights enterprise reporting from the communities we call home.

CBS 58 is owned by Weigel Broadcasting, a leader in operating national broadcast television entertainment networks. Along with CBS 58, Weigel’s three other Milwaukee properties are WBME MeTV, independent station WMLW, and Telemundo Wisconsin, which is seen statewide. Telemundo Wisconsin is proud to be the Spanish-language broadcast partner of the Milwaukee Brewers and the Green Bay Packers.

Weigel’s mission is to broadcast quality entertainment, news, and sports content to all viewers. Since its founding in 1964, Weigel has combined creativity, innovation, and a Midwestern ethos to serve viewers both in its hometown of Chicago and across the United States. Weigel prides itself on its relationships - with viewers and with partners. The same is true for CBS 58.

We are committed to the highest journalistic standards and proud of our CBS 58 news team, which is regularly recognized for excellence in reporting. The newsroom has earned Emmys from the Chicago/Midwest chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, as well as numerous awards from the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association and The Milwaukee Press Club. Our photojournalists are all members of the National Press Photographers Association and have won several awards from that organization.
