WMEU-CD

WMEU-CD, virtual channel 48 , is a low-powered, Class A independent television station licensed to Chicago, Illinois, United States. The station is owned by locally based Weigel Broadcasting, and is sister to fellow Weigel flagship properties, CW affiliate WCIU-TV and MeTV outlet WWME-CD . All three stations share studios on Halsted Street in the Greektown neighborhood; WMEU-CD's transmitter is located atop the Willis Tower on South Wacker Drive in the Chicago Loop.

Even though WMEU operates a digital signal of its own, the low-powered broadcasting radius does not reach the outer ring of Chicago proper or surrounding suburbs. Therefore, the station can also be seen through a 720p high definition simulcast on WCIU-TV's second digital subchannel in order to reach the entire market. This signal can be seen on UHF channel 27.2 , broadcasting from the Willis Tower transmitter. Additionally, CBS Television Stations contracts with Weigel to simulcast the subchannels of WBBM-TV over-the-air over WMEU-CD, in order to give viewers within the inner ring of Chicago access to that station via UHF, due to the limitations of WBBM's main channel 12 VHF signal.
