WZCK-LD

WZCK-LD is a low-power digital television station in the Madison, Wisconsin area. The station is owned and operated by DTV America.

WZCK was originally known as W08CK, and broadcast a low-power analog television signal on channel 8. The station was owned by the Science of Identity Foundation, a new religious movement with Hindu roots, and broadcast music, some religious programming, and a station ID from a transmitter atop the Tenney Building and a signal only strong enough to cover the downtown Madison area. Though it was off the air for most of the 2010s, W08CK was for a time the only station in Madison to broadcast on the VHF band (WISC-TV left analog channel 3 for digital channel 50 in the 2009 digital TV transition; WMSN-TV would relocate its physical digital signal from 11 to 49 earlier in the 2010s).

By 2016, W08CK would be acquired by DTV America, an owner/operator of LPTV stations throughout the U.S. With the silent station rechristened WZCK-LD, DTV America proceed to construct a digital signal on physical channel 36. On or around November 16, 2016, WZCK would commence digital broadcasting.

WZCK's digital signal remaps to the station's original analog location, channel 8, and currently delivers a multiplexed signal with the following networks:
