WBUP is the ABC-affiliated television station for Michigan's Central Upper Peninsula that is licensed to Ishpeming. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on VHF channel 10 from a transmitter, south of Ely Township, in unincorporated Marquette County. The station can also be seen on Charter channel 10 and in high definition on digital channel 780. Owned by the Marks Radio Group, WBUP is part of a duopoly with CW affiliate WBKP and the two outlets share studios on Ash Street in Ishpeming of Ishpeming Township.

Syndicated programming on this station includes Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy!, Modern Family, and Entertainment Tonight among others. Since WBUP cannot be seen over-the-air in the Keweenaw Peninsula, it is simulcasted in high definition on WBKP's second digital subchannel (VHF channel 5.2) from a transmitter on Tolonen Hill near Painesdale of Adams Township.
