Madison station celebrates news website’s 20th year

WISC-TV in Madison is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its news website.

Channel3000.com went online July 13, 1998 after its digital project called “In Touch,” which was Madison’s first television website.

 

The station partnered with Internet Broadcasting Systems to launch Channel 3000. IBS is now a part of Nexstar-owned Lakana.

Channel 3000 now also includes Madison Magazine, which is also owned by Morgan Murphy Media.

“As we appreciate the past achievements of Channel 3000 today our commitment is to look to the future and deliver content to our audience that is relevant and local on a daily basis for decades to come,” said Elizabeth Murphy Burns, President and CEO of Morgan Murphy Media.
