WNMU Channel 13 in Marquette, Michigan is the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) member Public television station, serving Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The station first went on the air in 1972. The station is owned and operated by Northern Michigan University. When the station first went on the air, its call letters were WNPB. WNMU serves all communities in the UP, over the air on channel 13 in the central UP, and on cable regionwide, including portions of northern Wisconsin not served by Wisconsin Public Television stations WPNE-TV or WLEF-TV. It is also seen on Charter cable in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, instead of WCMU-TV, which the rest of its market get via transmitters throughout the Northern Lower Peninsula of Michigan. In most of the Eastern U.P., cable or satellite are required to receive any PBS service; when the digital conversion took place in 2009, the Eastern U.P. lost terrestrial PBS service when WCMU satellite WCML in Alpena lowered its transmitter power for its digital broadcasts. Neither WCMU nor WNMU currently have plans to expand into the Eastern U.P. to fill the void left by the departure of WCML from the Eastern U.P. airwaves. WNMU was part of the Shaw line-up on its Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario system until 2002, when it was replaced with Detroit's WTVS. The transmitter for WNMU-TV is located just outside of Ishpeming in Ely Township. The antenna is 1,000 feet tall. The future of WNMU radio and TV was threatened in recent years, as budget cuts led to a proposed sale or closure of the stations. However, new funding was approved, keeping the station on the air. == Shows == WNMU Produces a number of shows directly from their studios. * High School Bowl, hosted by Jim Koski * Media Meet, hosted by Bill Hart is a weekly public affairs program focused on issues important to residents of Michigan's Upper Peninsula * Ask The...
