It was originally owned by William Walker who constructed it from the failed assets of Oshkosh-based ABC affiliate that operated on Ch 48. Walker in 1958 traded his asset to Morgan Murphy. In 1959, the city of license was changed to Green Bay and calls were changed to WLUK-TV on Aug 22, 1959. It then started broadcasting form a new transmitter tower in Green Bay.
