History
Channel 47 commenced its operations on June 8, 1986 and was the first new commercial service in the Madison market since the launch of WISC 30 years ago. Big Sky Theater was among the programs initially showcased in WMSN lineups; the program was a mix of classic movies and westerns on Saturday night. On Oct 9, 1986, after operating as a non-affiliated entity for a few months Ch 47 signed with Fox as a charter affiliate. Since joining the Fox network, the channel is a flagship home of Green Bay Packers and airs highest-rated programs involving packers in the Madison market during the NFL season. Sinclair in 2012 reached a deal with the service to renew WMSN and 18 other assets affiliations with Fox until 2017.
