WISH-TV, virtual channel 8, is the CBS-affiliated television station for Central Indiana licensed to Indianapolis. Owned by LIN Media, WISH-TV is part of a duopoly with MyNetworkTV affiliate WNDY-TV and the two share studios on North Meridian Street at the north end of Indianapolis' Television Row. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on VHF channel 9 from a transmitter in the city's Augusta section.
WISH-TV can be considered the flagship of LIN Media's Midwestern operations as it houses hub facilities containing master control and some internal operations for WISH, locally-based sister stations WNDY-TV and WIIH-CD, and thirteen other LIN-owned or -operated stations in the region, in addition to traffic, accounting services, and some programming for stations in all LIN Media markets.
On cable, the station is carried on Bright House Networks and Xfinity.
