But two things have remained steady: Jay Matthews and Mark Burg have been working tirelessly to keep WLAX-WEUX TV broadcasting. We launched our digital platform in December of 2014.Ī lot has happened, technology has evolved, transmitters have been upgraded, people have come and gone, ownership changed three times before coming home to Nexstar in 2015.

The NBC affiliates tower collapsed and we began to simulcast their signal to help keep the viewers served in our area until they could rebuild. The engineering team really stepped up in March of 2011 when we rushed to help our fellow broadcaster WEAU. We converted WLAX to HD in January of 2008 and WEUX in September of 2009. Other highlights include the launch of (then) Fox News at 9 on August 28 th, 2006. The fine people in DMA market 126 saw it LIVE on Fox 25-48, for the first time. The Packers defeated the Vikings 16-10 that day at Lambeau Field. We broadcast our first Green Bay Packer Game (against the Minnesota Vikings) on September 4 th, 1994.

We added a second transmitter in Colfax, christening WEUX on February 8 th, 1993. In the course of the ensuing 34 years Mark witnessed a lot of change. “Then we kept adding to it, one step at a time, expanding and growing” he said. When Fox got the NFL and Packers, everything changed. “Everyone in town was hoping we were going to be Fox, and this was before Fox even had the NFL” Burg remembered as we discussed his beginnings here at the station. They were creating the foundation for what would become FOX 25-48. Together our two veterans Jay and Mark operated from vans in fields (blowing snow, frigid temps, cows!) and finally from our current building and transmitter site. We were an independent at the time as Fox was just a dream and local News and NFL an even more distant dream. You Gotta Have Faith (#1 song 1988, George Michael) was surely playing as Mark united with Jay Matthews in wrestling a signal from our 30 KW transmitter keeping WLAX on the air. His final day at the station will be Friday, October 22 nd.Ī patriot through and through, Mark first joined WLAX TV on July 4 th, 1988.

Mark moved from the Green Bay area in 1988 to join our current Chief Engineer Jay Matthews, forming an engineering team that has been together for over three decades. Mark Burg, Assistant Chief Engineer of Fox 25-48 is retiring after nearly 34 years of service to the station.
