WYZZ-TV
WYZZ-TV, virtual channel 43, is a Fox-affiliated television station serving Peoria, Illinois, United States that is licensed to Bloomington. The station is owned by Cunningham Broadcasting; Nexstar Media Group, which owns Peoria-licensed CBS affiliate WMBD-TV, operates WYZZ under a local marketing agreement. The two stations share studios on North University Street in Peoria, with a secondary studio and news bureau on East Lincoln Street in Bloomington. WYZZ-TV's transmitter is located near Congerville, a village of Montgomery Township, Woodford County. Although WYZZ is sister to Comet owned-and-operated station WHOI, that outlet is managed outright by Sinclair.
History
It was founded by Grace Communications,who changed its call letters to the current WYZZ-TV in September 1985.
On December 1, 2001, Sinclair and the Nexstar Broadcasting Group entered into a local marketing agreement in which WMBD would take over WYZZ's operations.
WYZZ broadcasts digitally on UHF channel 28 and has been digital-only since February 17, 2009. According to a post on The Peoria Chronicle website, WYZZ and WMBD were planning on terminating the LMA between the two effective April 1, 2010. This move was ultimately not followed through with. On May 15, 2012, Sinclair and Fox agreed to a five-year extension to the network's affiliation agreement with Sinclair's nineteen Fox stations, including WYZZ, allowing them to continue carrying the network's programming until 2017.
Sinclair announced the acquisition of Barrington Broadcasting's stations, including WHOI, on February 28, 2013. On that date, Sinclair made public that it would transfer the WYZZ license to Cunningham Broadcasting because the WHOI purchase would violate Federal Communications Commission regulations on duopoly ownership.
WEEK-TV's joint sales and shared services agreements with WHOI were originally set to expire in March 2017.
On December 3, 2018, Nexstar announced it would acquire the assets of Chicago-based Tribune Media for $6.4 billion in cash and debt. The deal—which would make Nexstar the largest television station operator by total number of stations upon its expected closure late in the third quarter of 2019—would result in the WYZZ/WMBD virtual duopoly gaining additional sister stations in nearby markets including Chicago and St. Louis.
