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. Together, the stations reach portions of the states of Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, and Indiana.

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 in monophonic audio, rather than 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).
