WEAU is the NBC- affiliated television station for Western Wisconsin that is licensed to Eau Claire. It broadcasts a high definition digital on UHF channel 38 from a transmitter, north of Fairchild, along the Eau Claire and Clark County line. Owned by Gray Television, the station has studios on South Hastings Way/ U.S. 53 Business in Altoona (with an Eau Claire postal address). Syndicated programing on WEAU includes Wheel of Fortune, Inside Edition, Jeopardy!, and Steve Harvey and Mr. Food Test Kitchen among others.
Western Wisconsin is one of the few markets in the United States to receive NBC programming from multiple over-the-air affiliates as La Crosse is also served by W50DR-D channel 50, a repeater of KTTC from Rochester, Minnesota. This low-powered station airs from a transmitter in La Crescent, Minnesota and provides over-the-air service of NBC to viewers in La Crosse unable to receive WEAU due to area topography. However, WEAU is considered the primary NBC affiliate for that area and is the only affiliate available on cable and satellite television providers.
