WWME-CD, virtual channel 23 (UHF digital channel 39), is a television station located in Chicago, Illinois, United States, which serves as the flagship station of MeTV. The Class A station is owned by locally based Weigel Broadcasting, and is a sister station to fellow Weigel flagship properties, independent stations WCIU-TV (channel 26) and WMEU-CD (channel 48). All three stations share studio facilities located on Halsted Street (between Washington Boulevard and Madison Street) in the Greektown neighborhood; WWME-CD maintains transmitter facilities located atop the Willis Tower on South Wacker Drive in the Loop district.
Even though WWME has 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 simulcast on WCIU-TV's third digital subchannel in order to reach the entire market. This signal can be seen on UHF channel 27.3 (or virtual channel 26.3 via PSIP), broadcasting from the Willis Tower transmitter. On cable, the station is available on RCN channel 14, Mediacom channel 110, WOW! digital channels 19 and 198, AT&T U-verse standard definition channels 23 and 136 and high definition channels 1023 and 1136, and Comcast Xfinity digital channels 223 and 357; on satellite, the station is available on DirecTV and Dish Network channel 23.
