Escanaba, MI – On June 12th 2009, per federal government rule, WJMN is required to cease operations of analog programming on Channel 3. We are currently broadcasting the WJMN digital signal from a site north of Escanaba.
Since October 2008, WJMN has actively been pursuing a modification to our FCC construction permit for our permanent digital facility. If approved, the modification would allow WJMN to greatly expand its digital coverage area.
As of this date we are still awaiting permission from the FCC to build our proposed new facility. Until we build our new permanent facility, our broadcast reach will be limited to the specifications currently approved by the FCC.
WJMN digital programming is also available on Charter Cable. Check with other individual cable operators to see if you will continue to receive WJMN.
WJMN will make every effort to complete construction of our permanent facility as soon as the FCC approves the modification of our permit. We do not expect to finish construction until November of 2009 at the earliest.
Viewers with questions about the digital transition can call 888-CALL-FCC, 888.643.8809 or 866.760.9566. Status of our construction can be found at
