WBKB-DT3 is the ABC-affiliated television station for the Northern Lower Peninsula of Northeastern Michigan, USA. It is a third digital subchannel of CBS affiliate WBKB-TV that is owned by the Marks Radio Group. Over-the-air, the station airs a standard definition digital signal on VHF channel 11.3 from a transmitter in Alcona County (near M-72) south of Hubbard Lake. Its parent outlet has studios on North Bagley Street in Alpena. WBKB-DT3 signed-on January 14, 2013 after its parent station added this third digital subchannel to be the market's first ever locally-based ABC affiliate. Until this point in time, the network's affiliate in Flint, WJRT-TV, had been serving as the area's default affiliate on cable with standard and high definition feeds.
Newscasts
Currently (in 2013), WBKB only airs local news weeknights at 6 and every night at 11, Eastern Standard Time. All on-air personnel at the station perform "one-man-band" journalism duties such as shooting video, editing coverage, and producing the newscasts. With the addition of ABC programming to its third digital subchannel, WBKB will launch a weekday morning newscast in February 2013. The nightly newscasts will be simulcasted on WBKB's CBS and ABC channels.
