Spectrum Sports (Wisconsin)
Spectrum Sports was a Wisconsin regional sports channel owned by Charter Communications, created from Time Warner Cable’s Milwaukee and Eastern Wisconsin systems. It served Milwaukee and the Green Bay/Fox Cities area and aired on Charter Spectrum channel 32.
Launched in February 2007 as Time Warner Sports Milwaukee, the network later became Time Warner Cable Sports 32 and then Time Warner Cable SportsChannel (2013–2016). After Charter completed its acquisition of Time Warner Cable in 2016, the channel was rebranded as Spectrum Sports.
The network offered local programming, including UW–Milwaukee Panthers sports, coaches’ shows, high school sports, and Packers-related content. Marquette University basketball games aired on Spectrum Sports until 2013, when rights changes led to a shift of college games to other outlets and platforms.
In 2016 Charter’s merger with Time Warner Cable brought Spectrum Sports under Spectrum. However, the network was not added to Charter’s existing Wisconsin systems. Charter planned to replace it with a statewide 24-hour Spectrum News 1 Wisconsin, moving toward a unified local-news and sports approach.
Spectrum Sports ended autonomous operations as Spectrum News 1 Wisconsin prepared to launch. Spectrum News 1 Wisconsin debuted on November 27, 2018, at 6 a.m., with Spectrum Sports ceasing operations on December 31, 2018. The new Spectrum News channel continued local coverage for the region, effectively replacing Spectrum Sports on the channel lineup.
