If you're getting it by broadcast or by cable around the Detroit/Ann Arbor area, you're getting the actual broadcast. But WKBD sells their signal all over the US and Canada -- they're not quite a superstation, but they do have lots of customers outside of the actual broadcast area. Those customers get their feed from satellite, which is sometimes a different feed from the broadcast. This is particularly true if the item being fed is something of regional relevance (specialty shows), a sports event which may "trespass" on another teams broadcast zone, etc. -- "You can't get here from here."
