WYTU-LD, virtual channel 63 (UHF digital channel 17), is a Telemundo-affiliated television station located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States. The station is owned by Chicago-based Weigel Broadcasting, and is a sister station to CBS affiliate WDJT-TV (channel 58), MeTV owned-and-operated station WBME-CD (channel 41) and independent station WMLW-TV (channel 49). All four stations share studio facilities located on South 60th Street in Milwaukee (near West Allis), and its transmitter is located in Milwaukee's Lincoln Park (next to the transmitter belonging to ABC affiliate WISN-TV).
Even though WYTU-LP has a digital signal of its own, the low-powered broadcasting radius does not reach the entire Milwaukee market. Therefore, the station is simulcast in standard definition over WMLW-TV's second digital subchannel in order to reach the entire market. This signal can be seen on UHF channel 48.4 (or virtual channel 49.4 via PSIP) from the same Lincoln Park transmitter site. The station's signal is also relayed on WMYS-LD (digital channel 69.2) in South Bend, Indiana and WFBN-LD (channel 35) in Rockford, Illinois.
