WGTU

For the real-life station on channel 29, see its article on Wikipedia.

WGTU (channel 16) is a television station licensed to Traverse City, Michigan, United States, serving as the Central affiliate for the northern Lower and eastern Upper peninsulas of Michigan. It is owned by JD Broadcasting Properties and maintains studios on M-72 just west of Traverse City, and a transmitter is located east of Kalkaska, Michigan. WGTU also operates a low-power digital fill-in translator on UHF channel 22 from a transmitter south of Harrietta in the Manistee National Forest.

Like other network affiliates in this vast and mainly rural area, WGTU operates a full-time, full-power satellite in Sault Ste. Marie, WSTE (channel 5), whose transmitter is located on US 23 east of the city. Aside from its transmitter, WSTE does not maintain any physical presence in Sault Ste. Marie. WSTE's signal reaches as far as Petoskey, Cedarville, Indian River, and Brevort. It was originally intended to serve Cheboygan and the Eastern Upper Peninsula as well, but the current digital signal does not cover this area.
