WBUP is the ABC-affiliated television station for Michigan's Central Upper Peninsula that is licensed to Ishpeming. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on VHF channel 10 from a transmitter, south of Ely Township, in unincorporated Marquette County. The station can also be seen on Charter channel 10 and in high definition on digital channel 780. Owned by the Marks Radio Group, WBUP is sister to CW affiliate WBKP and the two outlets share studios on Ash Street in Ishpeming of Ishpeming Township. Syndicated programming on this station includes ''Wheel of Fortune'', ''Jeopardy!'', ''Modern Family'', and ''Entertainment Tonight'' among others. Since WBUP cannot be seen over-the-air in the Keweenaw Peninsula, it is simulcasted in high definition on WBKP's second digital subchannel (VHF channel 5.2) from a transmitter on Tolonen Hill near Painesdale of Adams Township. ==History== In August 1997, the area's original ABC affiliate WBKP launched repeater station W28BX on channel 28 in Marquette to cover the city proper. Since this low-powered over-the-air signal was very weak, it could only be picked up in Marquette and Negaunee. On January 2, 2003, WBKP replaced the low-powered repeater with full-time satellite WBUP. This aired a full-powered analog signal on VHF channel 10 and, at this point, WBUP and WBKP took the on-air branding "ABC 5&10". In January 2004, the Scanlan family (who also owned WGTU/WGTQ in the Northern Lower Peninsula) sold WBUP/WBKP and WBKB-TV in Alpena to Lake Superior Community Broadcasting which is a company owned by Stephan Marks of Maryland. In July 2007, the two stations split with WBKP becoming a CW affiliate (as part of The CW Plus national service) while WBUP remained with ABC. On February 11, 2013 at about 8:35 p.m., WBUP became a victim of broadcast signal intrusion when an unidentified hacker had hijacked the Emergency Alert System network to transmit a false Emergency Alert System message. This was broadcast during an episode of ''The Bachelor'' which simply stated that "dead bodies are rising from their graves and they are attacking the living. Do not attempt to approach these bodies, as they are considered dangerous."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.uppermichiganssource.com/news/story.aspx?id=859352#.URnFMDvfLHR )〕 It was revealed that a default password for the networks was being used. The attack also happened during primetime programming locally on WNMU-TV, KENW in Portales, New Mexico, and KRTV in Great Falls, Montana. The hacker was arrested several days later and sentenced to half a year of probation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WBUP」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
