WSTE

Not to be confused with the real-life WSTE-DT in San Juan, PR
WSTE is the Central affiliate serving Sault Ste. Marie, MI/ON. The station broadcasts on channel 5 and owned by Tegna Inc.
Like other network affiliates in this vast and mainly rural area, WSTE is a full-time, full-power satellite of WGTU (channel 16) in Traverse City. 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.
