WMVT, virtual channel 36 (UHF digital channel 35), is a Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) member television station licensed to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States. The station is owned by Milwaukee Area Technical College, which also owns sister PBS member station WMVS (channel 10). The two stations are collectively branded as "Milwaukee PBS". WMVT and WMVS share studio facilities located at the Continuing Education Center on the Milwaukee Area Technical College campus on North 8th Street in downtown Milwaukee, and transmitter facilities located on North Humboldt Boulevard in Milwaukee's Estabrook Park neighborhood.
WMVT and WMVS operate separately from the Wisconsin Public Television state network that is owned by the University of Wisconsin Extension and serves the rest of the state; however, WMVT runs instructional television programs from Wisconsin Public Television, and Milwaukee Area Technical College and Milwaukee PBS coordinate instructional television efforts for their broadcast area.
