 channel 47.

Like most over-the-air MTV2 affiliates (as it was from 2001-07), WBXI was an affiliate of The Box until that network's acquisition by Viacom (CBS Corporation's predecessor) in 2001.

For a few months in 2004, Channel 47 acted as a satellite station of then sister-station WNDY carrying UPN programming and simulcasting all of WNDY's programming, including the 10 p.m. news produced by WTHR.

WBXI has a construction permit to flash cut its signal from analog to digital on channel 47.
