Ch. 43 Waukesha

[John L]

I hope its not another shopping channel.  Do any of you receive the ch. 43 out of Waukesha?  I get them clear and snow free here in Muskego.

This was suppose to be part of a thread to Channel 38 or 53 in Milwaukee.  Not sure why this became a new thread?

Channel 43 is broadcast from a tower near the southeast corner of the city of Waukesha.  It was started in the late 90's as a LP station broadcasting programming and local news to Waukesha county. I believe the Kompas group, which publishes a low power TV industry newsletter was running it. It never was successful and eventually was taken over by the owners of the tower it was broadcating on. It was switched over to the shopping network and since has become somewhat profitable. That's the long answer to the question. I doubt it will ever carry anything but a shopping channel.
