WBKP (channel 5) is a television station licensed to Calumet, Michigan, United States, serving the Central and Western Upper Peninsula of Michigan as an affiliate of The CW Plus. It is owned by Morgan Murphy Media alongside Ishpeming-licensed ABC affiliate WBUP (channel 10); Morgan Murphy also provides services to WJMN-TV (channel 3) through joint sales and shared services agreements with owner Sullivan's Landing, LLC. The three stations share studios on Wright Street in west Marquette; WBKP's transmitter is located on Tolonen Hill near unincorporated Painesdale in Adams Township.
Since WBKP cannot be seen over the air in Marquette, it is also carried on the second digital subchannels of WBUP (whose transmitter is situated south of Ely Township in unincorporated Marquette County) and WJMN (whose transmitter is located in northern Delta County).
