Family Broadcasting Corp. said that its WHMB Indianapolis and WHME South Bend, Indiana, have become Univision affiliates, airing Spanish-language programming on their primary signals.

“This affiliation is an excellent addition to our portfolio of family-friendly networks and stations, and we’re very excited about this partnership and expanding our reach to new audiences,” Family Broadcasting CEO Drew Sumrall said.

Family Broadcasting had operated WHMB and WHME as independent stations.

“Univision brings news, entertainment, sports and culture to our community, with new opportunities for our partners,” Buterbaugh said. “I am honored to lead WHMB TV-40 into this new chapterIn addition to operating stations, Family Broadcasting runs cable networks Family Entertainment Television and Family Movie Classics.”
