In Chicago, Weigel Broadcasting's analog class A low-power WWME "MeTV", which boasts a signal that covers most of the Chicago area thanks to a Sears Tower transmitter, is simulcasting most of the programming of sister true indie WCIU, along with NBC-owned WMAQ's early morning and 6 p.m. newscasts and Tribune-owned CW affil WGN's prime time newscast (starring Chicago's TV weather guru Tom Skilling), for at least thirty days for those who still haven't converted to digital:
