WTXX-LD is a low-powered television station for the Pioneer Valley area of Massachusetts that is licensed to Springfield. Owned by Tyche Broadcasting, it broadcasts an analog signal on UHF channel 34 from a transmitter southeast of Wilbraham. This is also the location of the digital operations for low-powered CBS affiliate WSHM-LD. WTXX is the former call sign of Connecticut's The CW affiliate WCCT-TV. WTXX holds no cable coverage in the area, nor is it mentioned in paper television listings.

In June 2013, former owner R and S Broadcasting reached a deal to sell WTXX, along with sister station WRNT-LP in Hartford, Connecticut, to Landover 5 LLC. However, the deal eventually fell through when Landover 5 made clear it was only purchasing the station to offer it up for the 2016 FCC spectrum auction, and both stations were instead sold to Tyche Broadcasting, later renamed Tyche Media.
