was relocated to 1170 W. Windlake Ave, Milwaukee. In 1983, Eliason started WVCY-TV on Channel 30 in Milwaukee. In September 1994, the WVCY-TV board rejected a purchase offer of $10 million from CBS as part of that network's attempt to find a new station in the market (CBS eventually affiliated with WDJT-TV). Crosstalk In 1976 Eliason started Crosstalk, a radio talk show he hosted. Even as other hosts joined, Vic would still sit in on various days for Crosstalk until he died in 2015. Crosstalk, the network's nationally broadcast weekday afternoon public affairs program, airs live on over 125 stations and is rebroadcast weekday evenings on the VCY Radio Network; one of those broadcasts is also replayed at noon (CDT) on Saturday as Best of Crosstalk. Topics range from "the economy, the political scene, the continuing moral collapse of our nation, legislation that affects the family, or the state of evangelicalism.".

Later in 1990, Brienza filed a US$12.75 million lawsuit against UPI and Eliason for "unlawful job termination" based on her sexual orientation. To settle the case, in April 1995, Eliason's insurance agreed to pay Brienza $255,000, and Eliason issued a statement that gays and lesbians have the right to work in the media. Eliason said "My concern in this matter from the very beginning has been objectivity in journalism, not the sexual preference of any individual in the media." Rembert Weakland Eliason was vociferous in his opposition to Rembert Weakland, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Milwaukee from 1997 until 2002, "whom Eliason regarded as a "liberal" for his views on homosexuality and sex education". Weakland's eventual retirement was overshadowed by revelations that Weakland paid $450,000 of diocesan funds to a former male lover to prevent a lawsuit, along with the
