The two stations share studios on the EIU campus in Charleston; WEIU-TV's transmitter is located near Humboldt, Illinois.

WEIU-TV's broadcast radius extends south to Effingham, north to Champaign, west to Decatur, and east to Terre Haute, Indiana.

Before June 2010, no commercial television stations in the market were producing news in HD, which changed when NBC affiliate WAND became the first to make the switch.

This was the original target date on which full-power television stations in the United States were federally mandated to transition from analog to digital broadcasts.

In addition to its main station, WEIU-TV also operates "Your 13", a cable TV channel offered to Consolidated Communications subscribers that presents educational, sports, informational and local public access programming, as well as an overnight simulcast of WEIU-FM.
