WDJT-TV - Digital Television

Digital Television

• Additionally, a fourth and fifth digital subchannel have been added in the past for multicasting of games during the early rounds of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament in mid-March. From 2008 to 2010, when CBS restricted stations to only one multicast, the station aired the additional game over WDJT-DT3 (in 2008 as Me-TV and 2009 and 2010 as This TV Milwaukee), and removed 58.4 from service. NCAA multicasting has since been discontinued with the start of the CBS/Turner Networks coverage deal in 2011.

58.4 & 58.5 were returned to the PSIP channel map in May 2009 to map them permanently into channel maps on digital converter boxes and television sets for the possibility of future use.

Dish Network began carrying the station in high definition on October 28, 2010; the provider had not carried it until then due to Weigel's retransmission consent pricing being higher than Dish would agree to (though what terms Dish came to Weigel are unknown).

In June 2012, WDJT began to flag their SD presentation on 58.1 with the AFD #9 code, so SD viewers see the station's 16:9 picture in full on a 4:3 screen without letterboxing, thus causing some vertical stretching with that picture.

The station has carried a second audio program channel since the Lincoln Park transmitter went into service in 1999, both in the station's analog and digital forms, and provides all CBS programming available with DVS, along with NFL on CBS coverage featuring Spanish language audio, regardless of FCC regulations over the years.
