WFQX-TV (channel 32) and WFUP (channel 45) are television stations licensed respectively to Cadillac and Vanderbilt, Michigan, United States, serving the northern Lower and eastern Upper peninsulas of Michigan as affiliates of Fox and The CW Plus. They are owned by Cadillac Telecasting Company, which maintains a shared services agreement (SSA) with 910 Media Group, owner of Cadillac-licensed CBS affiliate WWTV, channel 9 (and its Sault Ste. Marie–licensed full-time satellite, WWUP-TV, channel 10), for the provision of certain services. The stations share studios on Broadcast Way (near US 131) in Cadillac; WFQX-TV's transmitter is located on 130th Avenue northeast of Tustin, while WFUP's tower sits on Hudson Lookout in southeastern Charlevoix County.

WFUP operates as a full-time satellite of WFQX; its existence is only acknowledged in station identifications. Unlike its parent station, WFUP does not carry any of WFQX-TV's subchannels and has a different subchannel lineup. Aside from the transmitter, WFUP does not maintain any physical presence locally in Vanderbilt. Unlike other network affiliates in Northern Michigan, the WFQX and WFUP combination does not incorporate the satellite station's channel number in its branding; the stations are simply referred to as Local 32.
