WBAY-TV 2 was also affiliated with all three stations plus DuMont when they started in March 1953. The only other station in the area at the time was WOSH-TV 48, an ABC-affiliated UHF station in Oshkosh that lasted less than one year. NBC moved from WBAY-TV 2 to WMBV-TV 11 (now WLUK-TV 11) in 1954, ABC moved from WBAY-TV 2 in 1955 to WNAM-TV 42 (now WFRV-TV 5), DuMont went under, and WBAY-TV 2 soldiered on as a CBS affiliate, even gaining (then losing) an affiliation with the short-lived United/Overmyer Network in 1967. The ownership group that owned WCCO-TV 4/KCCO-TV 7/KCCW-TV 12 in Minnesota, WFRV-TV 5 in Green Bay, Wisconsin and their semi-satellite WJMN-TV 3 in Marquette, Michigan, Midwest Radio & Television, Inc., was purchased by CBS in 1992, making all three CBS-affiliated stations in Minnesota into CBS-owned stations while converting ABC affiliates WFRV-TV 5 and WJMN-TV 3 into CBS-owned stations (both are now Nexstar stations, but WFRV-TV 5 still has their CBS affiliation while WJMN-TV 3 lost theirs to WZMQ-TV 19.2, WJMN-TV 3 is now affiliated with MyNetworkTV/Antenna TV in the absence of CBS while still being in essence, a semi-sattelite of WFRV-TV 5, since both stations share branding and resources), with WBAY-TV 2 reuniting with ABC, WBAY-TV 2's former secondary affiliate from 1953 to 1955, but this time, as the primary affiliate of the network. When WJMN-TV 3 switched from ABC to CBS in 1992, it caught WLUC-TV 6, the dual CBS/NBC off guard at first. WLUC-TV 6 switched from CBS/NBC to NBC/ABC/Fox in 1992. WLUC had since lost Fox by 1995, only to lose ABC when WBKP 5/WBUP 10 signed on in 1997. Northeast Wisconsin's affiliation switch in 1992 had a big ripple effect on Upper Peninsula viewers in Michigan as well.
Too bad WLUK wasn't a CBS station, the record goes to WFRV, which was NBC, ABC, & now CBS.
