WGTU

Not to be confused with the real-life WGTU also in Traverse City, MI
WGTU is the Central affiliate serving the northern Lower and eastern Upper peninsulas of Michigan, licensed to Cadillac. The station broadcasts on channel 16 and owned by Tegna Inc.
Like other network affiliates in this vast and mainly rural area, WGTU operates a full-time, full-power satellite in Sault Ste. Marie, WSTE (channel 5). WSTE is a straight simulcast of WGTU; on-air references to WSTE are limited to Federal Communications Commission (FCC)-mandated hourly station identifications during newscasts and other programming. Aside from the transmitter, WSTE does not maintain any physical presence locally in Sault Ste. Marie.
Collectively known on-air as Local 16/5, the two stations serve the largest television market by land area east of the Mississippi River: 23 counties in the Northern Lower Peninsula, three counties in the Eastern Upper Peninsula, and portions of Northern Ontario including Sault Ste. Marie's Canadian sister city.
