WYZZ-TV is the Fox-affiliated television station for North-Central Illinois, United States that is licensed to Bloomington. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 28 (or virtual channel 43 via ) from a transmitter near Congerville, a village of Montgomery Township, Woodford County. The station is owned by Cunningham Broadcasting; Nexstar Media Group, which owns Peoria-licensed CBS affiliate WMBD-TV, operates WYZZ under a local marketing agreement. The two stations share studio facilities on North University Street in Peoria. Although WYZZ is sister to Comet owned-and-operated station WHOI (owned by Cunningham's partner company, the Sinclair Broadcast Group), that outlet is managed outright by Sinclair.
