What is "wbui"

WBUI is the CW- affiliated television station for East- Central Illinois that is licensed to Decatur. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 22 (or virtual channel 23.1 via PSIP) from a transmitter in Whitmore Township (between Oreana and I-72). Owned by GOCOM Media, WBUI is sister to Fox affiliate WRSP-TV (and its semi-satellite station, WCCU).

Both stations are operated through joint sales and shared services agreements by the Sinclair Broadcast Group making them sisters to ABC affiliate WICS (and its full-time satellite, WICD). All of the television stations share studios together on East Cook Street in Springfield's Eastside. However, WBUI also operates an advertising sales office on South Main Street/ U.S. 51 in Downtown Decatur.
