WSIU is a PBS member television station broadcasting on channel 8, located in Carbondale, Illinois, at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. SIUC also operates a repeater station, WUSI, channel 16, in Olney, Illinois.

SIUC also operates radio stations in both cities with the same callsigns; they are members of NPR and affiliates of PRI. A rebroadcaster of the radio stations, WVSI-FM, transmits from Mount Vernon, Illinois.

WSIU-TV and WUSI-TV are unusual among television stations, and PBS stations in particular, in that they both broadcast monophonic audio, instead of in stereo. Consequently, many viewers who live within WSIU-TV's or WUSI-TV's service areas and can receive KETC (channel 9, St. Louis) watch KETC instead. On the other hand, WUSI-TV has an advantage over Vincennes, Ind.'s WVUT (both of which are in the Terre Haute, Indiana, market area) in that it has a stronger signal and can probably reach the majority of the market area more easily.

WSIU-TV and WUSI-TV also show BBC World News, a non-PBS program, at 5:00 a.m. Central Time (the same time as BBC America).
