WPTD

WPTD is a television station in Dayton, Ohio that is a member of the Public Broadcasting Service. It broadcasts in digital on channel 16, and is relayed by W32DS-D in Maplewood, Ohio.

WPTO, WPTD's sister station, is a member of PBS, licensed to Oxford, Ohio. It broadcasts digitally on channel 28 but is displayed on-screen as channel 14, its former analog and present virtual channel, via the PSIP protocol. Oxford is located in the Cincinnati market, and WPTO's digital transmitter is on the same tower as WXIX-TV, Cincinnati's Fox affiliate.

WPTD brands itself ThinkTV16, while WPTO brands itself ThinkTV14. Together, the two stations are known on-air as the ThinkTV Network and operate as a subsidiary of Public Media Connect, a regional non-profit company that also owns Cincinnati's PBS member station, WCET.

Neither WPTD nor WPTO is a satellite of the other: Master control operations for both stations are performed at ThinkTV facilities in Dayton. Individual programs may be shared between the two stations. However, each station is separately programmed and scheduled; there is virtually no overlap, except during pledge drives.

Both stations' signals are multiplexed, each broadcasting one high-definition channel, and several standard definition channels.

WPTD's broadcast coverage includes much of southwestern Ohio, including Dayton and Cincinnati, as well as portions of eastern Indiana. WPTO's smaller coverage area largely overlaps that of WPTD, but is more concentrated in the extreme southwest corner of Ohio, providing a stronger signal to Cincinnati, weaker to the Dayton area. Both stations are available on Time Warner Cable throughout southwestern Ohio, though some systems may offer only WPTD's set of multiplexed channels or WPTO's, depending on their location.
