  • WPXE-TV, digital channel 40, is the Ion Television O&O station for Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with the city of license thirty miles south in Kenosha. However, the digital transmitter is situated within the traditional tower farm site on Milwaukee's northeast side with the antenna located on the Milwaukee Public Television tower, and the station offices straddling the city line between Milwaukee and Glendale . Its signal covers most of southeastern Wisconsin and parts of northeastern Illinois, including the cities of Racine, Kenosha, and Waukesha, Ozaukee, Fond du Lac, Dodge and Sheboygan counties. The station signed on in June 1988 as WHKE, a religious station owned by LeSEA. The call letters stood for World Harvest Kenosha Evangelism. The station's analog transmitter was located in northern Racine County near Interstate 94 and had a limited transmission area; this caused the station to not be available in Fond du Lac and Sheboygan counties except through cable. Paxson Communications, now ION Media, bought the station in 1995 and turned it into an all-infomercial channel. It became a charter affiliate of Pax TV in 1998, at which time it adopted its current call letters. The station formerly had a local marketing agreement with WTMJ (Channel 4) that resulted from NBC having a stake in Paxson/PAX TV, sharing programming and airing repeats of WTMJ's newscasts for several years, with WTMJ selling ad time for WPXE; Martha Stewart Living and repeats of preseason Green Bay Packers games produced for WTMJ (and live games during the 2004 Summer Olympics) also aired on WPXE. This agreement was discontinued on July 1, 2005 after the conversion of PAX into i - Independent Television, and the agreement ended. The network was renamed once again to Ion Television on January 29, 2007. The station airs the entire Ion Television schedule, with the only local programming paid programming for local businesses, and a public affairs program, Ion Milwaukee, which airs at various times throughout the week.
