WJMN-TV (channel 3) is a television station licensed to Escanaba, Michigan, United States, serving the Central and Western Upper Peninsula of Michigan as an affiliate of MyNetworkTV. The station is owned by Sullivan's Landing, LLC, which maintains joint sales and shared services agreements with Morgan Murphy Media (owner of ABC affiliate WBUP (channel 10) and CW+ affiliate WBKP (channel 5)) for the provision of certain services. 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).
Master control and internal operations for WJMN are based at the studios of former sister station and CBS affiliate WFRV-TV (channel 5) on East Mason Street in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Although identifying as a separate station in its own right, WJMN operated as a semi-satellite of WFRV, which established it in 1969 to expand its reach into Upper Michigan and far Northeastern Wisconsin.
On January 21, 2022, under previous owner Nexstar Media Group, WJMN disaffiliated from CBS and became a MyNetworkTV affiliate, retaining previous syndicated programming, but also taking programming from Nexstar-owned Antenna TV and NewsNation to fill time where CBS programming formerly resided. The CBS affiliation moved to WZMQ.
