WMEU-CA is a class A station in Chicago, Illinois. It is owned by Weigel Broadcasting, which also owns sister stations WCIU-TV and WWME-CA. The station is a extension of WWME's classic programming format, and brands as "Me Too". Me Too's digital signal is carried as a subchannel on WCIU-TV, and on local cable and satellite systems.

History

Prior to its format change as Me Too (on March 1 2008), Channel 48 was WFBT-CA, a time brokered, ethnic television station. That programming was previously on channel 23, which Weigel converted to "MeTV," and changed the call letters to WWME-CA. Prior to being an ethnic channel, it was listed as an affiliate of TBN.

WFBT's programming is now available on WCIU-DT6. Its programming includes that from China Star TV, Polvision, and Namaste America, as well as weekend Greek, Filipino, and Spanish language programs (some by local producers).
