WBME-CD, virtual channel 41 (UHF digital channel 24) is a MeTV owned-and-operated television station located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States. The station is owned by Chicago-based Weigel Broadcasting, and is sister to CBS affiliate WDJT-TV (channel 58), independent station WMLW-TV (channel 49) and Telemundo affiliate WYTU-LD (channel 63). All four stations share studio facilities located on South 60th Street (near West Allis); WBME's transmitter is located in Milwaukee's Lincoln Park.
Even though WBME has a digital signal of its own, the low-powered broadcasting radius does not reach all of southeastern Wisconsin. Therefore, the station can also be seen through a simulcast on WDJT's second digital subchannel in order to reach the entire market. This relay signal can be seen on UHF channel 46.2 (or virtual channel 58.2 via PSIP) from the Lincoln Park transmitter. The station is also available on Charter Communications (channel 191 in some areas) and AT&T U-verse channel 19 and Dish Network and DirecTV channel 41.
