WTTV - Overview

Overview

Owned by the Tribune Company, WTTV is sister to Fox affiliate WXIN and the two stations share studios on Network Place (near 71st Street & I-465) in the northwestern portion of Indianapolis. Syndicated programming on this station includes The People's Court, Everybody Loves Raymond, America's Court with Judge Ross, Seinfeld, Two and a Half Men and The Big Bang Theory.

Due to its transmitter being located farther south than most Indianapolis area stations, the broadcasting radius of WTTV's digital signal does not reach the entire Indianapolis market. Therefore, WTTV operates Kokomo-licensed satellite station WTTK, operating on UHF channel 29 from WXIN's transmitter on West 73rd Street/Westlane Road on Indianapolis' north side. WTTK covers northern portions of the market that receive a marginal to non-existent signal of WTTV (including the cities of Kokomo, Muncie and Lafayette), though there is significant overlap between the coverage areas of both WTTV and WTTK's signals otherwise. Though WTTK operates as its satellite, WTTV limits on-air references to the station to FCC-mandated hourly station identifications during newscasts and other programming.
