WWRS-TV is a religious television station in Mayville, Wisconsin, serving the Milwaukee, Wisconsin and the Madison,Wisconsin markets as an affiliate of TBN on channel 52. The station's signal covers much of southeastern Wisconsin, along with extended cable coverage through the area.
The station is owned by National Minority Television, a division of TBN used for ownership purposes. The station primarily carries the TBN satellite feed, and also required local public affairs programming (On Wisconsin and Public Report) from their main studio facilities in nearby Iron Ridge. The station also airs church services from throughout the area, usually on Sunday morning.
This station's digital signal, like most other TBN-owned stations, carries five different TBN-run networks:
| Channel | Programming |
|---|---|
| 52.1 | The local TBN channel (simulcasting the analog station) |
| 52.2 | The Church Channel |
| 52.3 | JCTV |
| 52.4 | Enlace USA |
| 52.5 | Smile of a Child |
In 2002, a dispute arose between Time Warner Cable and WWRS regarding must-carry regulations. Must-carry regulations require cable TV systems within the Grade B contour of a full-power, full service TV station to carry that station on the basic cable tier. When the dispute was settled, the FCC judged that the station was not required to be carried on the cable systems in the more distant counties of Kenosha, Racine, and Walworth. However, WWRS was able to exercise must-carry to the Time Warner Cable lineup in southeastern Wisconsin. This, combined with the lack of available channel space, caused the forced move of Madison's PBS/Wisconsin Public Television flagship station WHA-TV (Channel 21) to the digital cable tier in order to air WWRS on the basic cable tier.
