Broadcasting Facilities
Further information: WITI TV TowerThe WITI TV Tower is located in Shorewood, Wisconsin and stands 1078 feet tall. It was completed in August 1962 and was briefly the tallest free-standing tower in the world.
The station's studios are located in the city of Brown Deer at the intersection of Green Bay Road and Brown Deer Road. The building contains at least two studios. Studio A houses the station's primary news set, and studio B houses the set for the Fox 6 Wake-Up News. In May 2008, a new Wake-Up set was constructed in Studio B with the old Wake-Up "living room" set, an area used for guest performances, and the Ask Gus set was dismantled. The front lobby and newsroom are also utilized for auxiliary studios depending on the broadcast involved, and until 1996 the lobby was set up to broadcast the station's local coverage of the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon on Labor Day, when WITI decided to discontinue airing it and it moved to WDJT. In 2011 the station re-acquired rights to the telethon in that year's six-hour one evening format and the 2012 three-hour Show of Strength, which only requires that night's Fox network programming to be delayed to air overnight.

Famous quotes containing the words broadcasting and/or facilities:
“We spend all day broadcasting on the radio and TV telling people back home what’s happening here. And we learn what’s happening here by spending all day monitoring the radio and TV broadcasts from back home.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“I have always found that when men have exhausted their own resources, they fall back on “the intentions of the Creator.” But their platitudes have ceased to have any influence with those women who believe they have the same facilities for communication with the Divine mind as men have.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
