Wisconsin Public Television 's instructional telecourse programs for students and teachers.
WMVS' digital signal on Channel 8 (virtual channels 10-1 through 7) is used to multicast seven different channels; 2 channels devoted to a 3-hour delay of both WMVS and WMVT feeds, a telecourse and a children's programming channel, both provided by PBS, and three channels with
Doppler Radar video from the Sullivan, Wisconsin
National Weather Service office, and either
Weatheradio ,
Classical Music or international news as audio on each of these channels. At times, one of the Doppler channels is used to feature a 24/7 video feed of the

WMVS does not use this channel for
HDTV content, instead using WMVT's Channel 35-1 as their main high-quality HDTV channel for PBS Digital programs.
