the feature's 2007 launch until she departed WBUW in June 2011. "Buzzed" would air on a limited basis in the subsequent 12 months, with content that included entertainment previews from the Isthmus newspaper and, during the 2011-2012 academic year, a series of "junior reporters" from area schools, with a different student reporter each month. (Emmy Fink would resurrect "Buzzed Into Madison" as a recurring segment for Madison CBS affiliate WISC-TV in Summer 2016.) When it acquired what was then WBUW in 2012, The Byrne Group would begin a gradual yet eventually significant expansion of the station's local content, using an advertiser-friendly approach similar to that used by its South Carolina sister station. Such local content would occupy significant blocks of WIFS' non-syndicated daily schedule until its move to Ion Plus, featuring discussion programs, sporting events, and other content that featured station sponsors, other businesses, and community/non-profit organizations from Madison and Southern Wisconsin. Programs produced at WIFS would include the following over the years (shows with underlined titles were part of the schedule in January 2019, before the station joined Ion Life): Entertainment and lifestyle programming Community Connections – Two-minute featurettes profiling local events and businesses throughout the broadcast day Dane Buy Local TV - A shopping channel-style program showcasing products and services offered by members of the same-named local business organization Destination – The Byrne Group's first major addition to Channel 57's schedule after purchasing the station, this half-hour series of specials profiled businesses in specific communities in Madison and Southern Wisconsin (e.g. Destination Monona, Destination Wisconsin Dells) Fusin' It with Joe Perkins – A Dinner and a Movie-style film showcase, with cutaway studio features on recipes and menu offerings presented by Joe Perkins, owner of the Cold Fusion restaurants.
