WIUP-TV is the university television station for the Indiana University of Pennsylvania. The station serves the counties of Armstrong, Blair, Indiana, Cambria, and Westmoreland in Pennsylvania. WIUP airs programs aimed at college students, various IUP sports as well as high school football and basketball games, as well as a video marquee, which runs nearly every hour during the day.

WIUP signed on the air in 1991, operating on Channel 16 as a cable-only station on Adelphia cable. In 1999, when Adelphia added Shop at Home on Channel 16, WIUP decided to move WIUP to channel 20 on cable. In 2004, Atlantic Broadband added WIUP-TV to its cable lineup. In 2006, Adelphia became Comcast for the region. Although rumors say, that the station may remain on channel 20. However, the station will remain on channel 20.

In 2006, WIUP-TV was announced as the new local affiliate of MyNetworkTV, the all-telenovela network owned by Fox Television Stations Group. The station was to be managed by WPMY, the MNTV affiliate in Pittsburgh. But the deal fell through in the late summer. MNTV has since signed up another area station, WHVL-LP, as the affiliate.
