WMVT (Channel 36) is a television station located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Its signal covers most of southeastern Wisconsin, including the cities of Racine, Kenosha, Sheboygan, and Waukesha.
WMVT is a noncommercial public broadcasting station, which is a member of PBS. WMVT's owner, Milwaukee Area Technical College, also owns sister Milwaukee PBS affiliate WMVS. Both stations together refer to themselves collectively as Milwaukee Public Television.
WMVT airs more documentary, instructional, DIY, and news programming than WMVS' general PBS schedule, and is the Milwaukee affiliate for Wisconsin Public Television's instructional telecourse programs for students and teachers, along with any Wisconsin Badgers sports coverage from WPT produced by the UW athletic department. Also, PBS primetime programming moves to Channel 36 while Channel 10 holds their annual auction and pledge drives.
WMVT also has a "Student Operations Day" yearly on the first Saturday in May, where the students in MATC's broadcasting department use the MPTV facilities to produce their own shows to air on Channel 36, which vary from serious educational and history programs to comedy shows.
WMVT-DT's digital channel 35 is used for WMVS's HDTV channel for PBS Digital programs, freeing up WMVS's own digital signal for digital subchannels without affecting signal quality. A three-hour delay of WMVT's standard definition programming is found on WMVS-DT Channel 10-2.
WMVT began broadcasting on January 28, 1963.
