WJMN-TV (channel 3) is a television station licensed to Escanaba, Michigan, United States, serving the Central and Western Upper Peninsula of Michigan as a satellite of ABC affiliate WBUP (channel 10). The station is owned by Sullivan's Landing, LLC, which maintains joint sales and shared services agreements with Morgan Murphy Media, owner of WBUP and CW+ affiliate WBKP. WJMN-TV's studios are located off US 41/M-28 on Wright Street in Marquette Township,[3] and its transmitter is located in unincorporated northern Delta County (south of the Alger County line).
WJMN was originally established in 1969 by Orion Broadcasting as a semi-satellite of WFRV-TV in Green Bay, Wisconsin, to expand its reach into Upper Michigan and far Northeastern Wisconsin. WJMN became more autonomous from WFRV in April 2014, when station owner Nexstar Media Group (who acquired WFRV and WJMN in 2011) launched Upper Peninsula-specific newscasts from a newly-built studio in Marquette.
On January 21, 2022, WJMN lost its CBS affiliation, with the network moving to WZMQ-DT2. Programming from MyNetworkTV and Nexstar-owned NewsNation, as well as a prime time newscast, were used to fill time where CBS programming formerly resided. After the sale of WJMN by Nexstar to Sullivan's Landing, it entered into agreements with Morgan Murphy Media, the operations of its ABC affiliate WBUP were merged with WJMN in September 2024. Its existing MyNetworkTV programming moved to a digital subchannel, and WBUP's ABC and CW subchannels were mirrored on WJMN.
