The Badger Television Network was a three-station television network in Wisconsin during 1958. The three stations were WISN-TV (Milwaukee channel 12), WFRV-TV (Green Bay channel 5), and WKOW-TV (Madison channel 27).[1]
Programs broadcast by the network included Homemaker's Holiday, a quiz show hosted by Charlie Hanson; Good Housekeeping, hosted by Trudy Beilfuss; and Pretzel Party, a variety program originally hosted by Larry Clark. All three programs originated from Milwaukee's WISN-TV. During March 1958, the network also aired Senate Investigating Committee hearings during late-night hours.[1]
The network was launched in January 1958 and ceased operations on August 8 of that year.[1]
