Like other network affiliates serving this vast and mainly rural area, WWTV operates a full-time, full-power satellite in Sault Ste. Marie, WWUP-TV (channel 10), whose transmitter is located approximately 30 miles (48 km) south-southeast of Sault Ste. Marie near Goetzville in southeastern Chippewa County (on a tower shared with ABC affiliate WGTQ). Aside from its transmitter, WWUP does not maintain any physical presence in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan.
Together, the two stations are known on-air as 9&10 and serve the largest television market east of the Mississippi River: 23 counties in the northern Lower Peninsula and three counties in the eastern Upper Peninsula. In addition, WWUP's signal can be received by viewers in Northern Ontario including Sault Ste. Marie's Canadian sister city.
