WEYI Channel 25 (Digital Channel 30) is the NBC affiliate for the Flint-Saginaw-Bay City, Michigan television market.

The station now known as NewsCenter 25 (WEYI's nickname) is one of the nation's first UHF television stations, signing on as WKNX Channel 57, a CBS affiliate, in April 1952. In 1965, the station changed channel numbers from 57 to 25 and in 1972, relocated to its current studios. At the same time new owners Rust Craft Broadcasting changed the station's call letters to WEYI, reflecting the station's call letters. In the following decades, WEYI was sold to various owners, including Ziff-Davis, Television Station Partners, Smith Broadcasting, LIN Broadcasting and the station's current owners, Barrington Broadcasting.

In 1995, WEYI and WNEM Channel 5 traded networks, and WEYI became an affiliate of the NBC television network. In 2004, WEYI launched Mid-Michigan's WB , a cable network affiliated with the WB television network and also available through WEYI's digital channel number.
