WMEI (channel 31) is a television station licensed to Shawano, Wisconsin, United States, serving as the Green Bay–area outlet for the classic television network MeTV. Owned and operated by Weigel Broadcasting, the station maintains a transmitter in northwest Morrison.




History


Channel 31 was originally allocated to Wittenberg, Wisconsin, where it was used by Fox affiliate WFXS-DT (virtual channel 55), which operated until July 1, 2015. The frequency was put up for auction in the spring of 2022, with Weigel Broadcasting winning the auction and intending to relaunch it some time in 2024 as a Green Bay station and possibly also serving Wausau and angling for pay TV carriage in both markets, assuring full coverage for their subchannel networks, including MeTV, MeTV Toons, H&I, and Start TV, once the station signed on the air.
In the summer of 2023, Weigel petitioned the FCC to relocate the city of license allocation east (while remaining in Shawano County) to the larger county seat of Shawano with a higher transmitter power, likely to allow the station to provide city-grade service to Shawano and Wittenberg from Scray's Hill, the main transmitter site for the Green Bay market, southeast of the city in the Town of Glenmore. In May 2024, the station was revealed to have a new callsign, WMEI, and the station launched on June 24, 2024. WMEI was the first full-power television station to sign on in Wisconsin in over 20 years.
In the 2024–25 season, WMEI, along with other Weigel stations in Wisconsin, began airing select Milwaukee Bucks games in simulcast with FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin.
