What is "wthr"

WTHR, virtual and VHF digital channel 13, is an NBC- affiliated television station located in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. The station is owned by the Dispatch Broadcast Group of Columbus, Ohio, and is a sister station to Cozi TV affiliate WALV-CD (channel 46) and Columbus's CBS affiliate WBNS-TV (channel 10). WTHR and WALV share studio facilities located on North Meridian (south of I-65) in downtown Indianapolis; WTHR maintains transmitter facilities located near Ditch Road and West 96th Street in Carmel. On cable, WTHR is available on Comcast Xfinity and Bright House Networks channel 12, and AT&T U-verse channel 13 in standard definition; and in high definition on Bright House Networks digital channel 1012, and Xfinity and AT&T U-verse channel 1013.

Under Dispatch's ownership, WTHR has a great deal of autonomy and due to its private ownership, is less beholden to the constraints of public ownership its local competitors are under, along with being the only commercial station in the state not under any large broadcast chain ownership.
