WKYU-TV (channel 24) is a secondary PBS member television station in Bowling Green, Kentucky, United States.

The Broadcasting and Mass Media Department of Western Kentucky University was granted a construction permit by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on February 28, 1986, to build a public television station under the chosen callsign WKYU-TV to match that of its pre-existing NPR member outlet WKYU-FM.

[3] Transmission equipment for the station was pre-installed at ABC affiliate WBKO's tower site in 1988 to keep the start-up costs to a minimum.

Its program schedule for the day was previously posted on "Community Calendar" slides shown with audio of WKU Public Radio during that station's daily downtime from 3 to 7 a.m. CT (11 p.m. to 7 a.m. before 2012).

WKYU-TV's local programming includes public affairs programs such as: Since 1990, WKYU-TV occasionally airs Western Kentucky Hilltoppers football and men's and women's basketball games that do not appear on regional or national commercial sports networks; some game broadcasts were broadcast on a tape-delayed basis in the station's early years.

Since 2000, the games are broadcast under a banner called "Hilltopper Sports Satellite Network," for which WKYU-TV is the flagship station.

This often takes the form of preempting regular programming to carry the Stadium linear signal for the duration of the event.

WKYU is also available on cable systems in Muhlenberg and Ohio counties in northwest Kentucky, in the Evansville, Indiana, DMA, home territory to fellow PBS member station WNIN), including Comcast Xfinity in the Greenville/Central City area, and on Spectrum systems in the Beaver Dam/Hartford area.
