WBWT-LP (Channel 38) is a television station located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Affiliated with the Spanish-language Azteca América network, the station is owned by Bustos Media, which also owns Traditional Mexican station WDDW (104.7 FM).
The station began airing a test pattern in September, 2006, and officially launched on December 12, 2006. The station launched with only Azteca programming and a video simulcast of WDDW's morning show to start, but in the future expects to add more local programming for Milwaukee's Hispanic community, along with Time Warner Cable carriage [1], which it received as a part of the October 2009 Time Warner channel switch over digital cable channel 807[2].
Bustos received FCC approval for a construction permit in May 2006 to build a low-power television station. The 150,000-watt TV station transmits from the Milwaukee Public Television tower on Milwaukee's northwest side. The station's signal covers all of Milwaukee County, as well as surrounding areas. A digital construction permit for Channel 31 has been filed with the FCC.
The station, along with WDDW, is housed in a two-story office building at 1136 S. 108th St. in West Allis.
