WLUC-DT2 is the Fox-affiliated television station for Michigan's Central Upper Peninsula. It is a second digital subchannel of NBC affiliate WLUC-TV that is owned by Gray Television. Over-the-air, the station broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 35.2 (or virtual channel 6.2 PSIP) from a transmitter on South Helen Lake Road in Republic Township southeast of unincorporated Republic. The station can also be seen on DirecTV channel 7 in high definition and Charter channel 11 and in high definition on digital channel 706.
Its parent station has studios on U.S. 41/M-28 in Negaunee of Negaunee Township. Although WLUC-DT2 does not have its own web address, it maintains a separate section within the main channel's website.
While under Raycom Media ownership, this subchannel signed-on for the first time in late-2005 carrying The Tube Music Network. After that network shut down October 1, 2007 due to a lack of advertising revenue, NBC Weather Plus was added. Later, the 24-hour automated weather channel was dropped in favor of Universal Sports. Throughout its association with those three services, WLUC-DT2 was carried on Charter digital channel 306.
