WSIU is a PBS member television station and a radio station that is a member of NPR and an affiliate of PRI. Both are located in Carbondale, Illinois, at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. In addition, WSIU has a rebroadcaster for both television and radio called WUSI (on channel 16) in Olney, Illinois, and a rebroadcaster for radio called WVSI in 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. 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 WVUT (both of which are in the Terre Haute, Indiana, market area) in that it has a stronger signal and would 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 AM CST (the same time as BBC America).
