WLNS Michigan Broadcaster Affiliate Of CBS TV


The Lansing Jackson of the Michigan television market is served by the CBS television affiliate WLNS-TV. It broadcasts its programs from a 1,004-foot transmitter located midway between East Lansing and the town of Williamston. This allows to distribute signals in many parts of southern and central Michigan.While its analog signal is broadcasted on VHF channel 6, the digital signal is on UHF channel 59.

On 1st May 1950, WLNS was launched on air as WJIM-TV, which was owned by Harold F. Gross along with WJIM-AM 1240. Outside of Detroit, it was the second-oldest station of Michigan and in 1934, Gross had started WJIM-AM, the first commercial radio station in Lansing.

Both the stations were named after the son of the owner of WLNS. In 1953, before shifting to its current location on Saginaw Street also known as the country house, it was broadcasted from the top of a bank in downtown Lansing.

Along with WLNS, Gross added WJIM-FM to his holdings in the year 1960. In the mean time, with the signing on of WJRT-TV from flint, ABC disappeared from the schedule in 1958. Again in 1959, when WILX-TV signed on, the disappearance of NBC occurred. Similarly, DuMont programming seemed to have vanished when in 1956 that network ceased operations leaving WJIM with just CBS.

WJIM-TV, todays WLNS, carried on with its programming from all four major networks, although it was and always has been a primary CBS affiliate. In 1973, the stations license was challenged by the local chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.

The allegations brought against WLNS was that Harold Gross didnt allow a number of prominent political figures to appear on his station. However, in 1982 after the initial revocation was reversed by a three-member review board at the FCC, WJIM became successful to keep its license.

But unfortunately, the stress of the license dispute led Gross to sell the station to Unicom Inc, a unit of Forstmann Little, d.b.a. Backe Communications. The ownership of Unicom in the station was short-lived and in 1986 they sold WLNS and WKBT in La Crosse, Wisconsin to its current owner, named Young Broadcasting.

Saginaw's then-CBS affiliate WEYI-TV moved its studios and transmitter to Clio, just north of Flint in 1972. During the 1980s, WLNS concentrated more on Lansing and today as a good receiver it can still be seen in Saginaw County.

In Detroit's west suburbs and areas of northwest Detroit, WLNS is best viewable and relays its broadcast on W67AJ (channel 67), a low-power repeater in Ann Arbor, owned by Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti. The station's studio facility is also available from My Network TV affiliate, WHTV. The station also has its website covering the day-to-day latest updates. WLNS TV
