WBKB-TV (channel 11) is a television station in Alpena, Michigan, United States, affiliated with CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox and MyNetworkTV.

Owned by Morgan Murphy Media, the station maintains studios on North Bagley Street in Alpena, and its transmitter is located in unincorporated Alcona County (near M-72) south of Hubbard Lake.

At the time Alpena and its surrounding area was one of the last places in the Eastern United States without any over-the-air television service, as defined by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

The construction permit application was filed on September 22, 1971, and specified using the tower of WHSB (107.7 FM) at Manning Hill, near Lachine, Michigan, some 15 miles (24 km) west of Alpena.

To break the logjam of inactivity, Thunder Bay voluntarily again modified its application to specify a smaller, peanut-shaped coverage area from a 500-foot (150 m) tower at Barton City, about 25 miles (40 km) south of Alpena.

WBKB-TV signed-on a new second digital subchannel to serve as the area's primary Fox and secondary MyNetworkTV affiliate that November.

In addition, WFQX's full-powered satellite WFUP in Vanderbilt served areas around greater Alpena although not in the city proper.

Despite the existence of WBKB-TV's Fox channel, Charter systems still carry WFQX in standard and high definition to this day.

In the interim, WJRT-TV in Flint served as the market's default affiliate on Charter with standard and high definition feeds.

[6] In September 2023, it was announced that The Marks Group would sell its Michigan broadcasting properties—WBKB-TV, WBUP, WBKP, and radio stations in Houghton and Iron River—to Morgan Murphy Media for $13.375 million.

WBKB-TV only offered local news weeknights at 6 and every night at 11 ET until 2013, with its on-air personnel acting as "one-man-band" multimedia journalists performing all duties, such as shooting video, editing coverage, and producing the newscasts.

With the addition of ABC programming to its third digital subchannel, WBKB began to carry a morning newscast simulcast on its NBC channel.

WPBN/WTOM also took over weather responsibilities for WBKB-TV, which had been fulfilled by a mix of contracted meteorologists and forecasts complied by NewsNet in Cadillac over the last few years and struggled to remain staffed full-time.
