WUPX-TV is a television station in Morehead, Kentucky, serving the Lexington market as an affiliate of the Ion Television network on digital channel 21. The station's broadcasting tower is located on McCausey Ridge in Menifee County. As such, its signal barely reaches its intended city.

WUPX-TV was launched as UPN 62 WBLU-LP and UPN 67 WAOM-TV until 2001. Both stations simulcast UPN and infomercials until WAOM was sold off. WAOM-TV was then sold to Paxson, became a PAX affiliate and changed its letters to WUPX.
