WXON-LP is an independent low-power television station in Flint, Michigan. It is not to be confused with the former WXON-TV, which is now WMYD, the MyNetwork TV affiliate for Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario -- the station's owners, P&P Cable Holdings, got the WXON calls shortly after that station became WDWB -- then of which becoming WMYD. P&P is known for picking up calls no longer used by Michigan's TV and radio stations and reusing them for their own LPTV properties.
The station broadcasts on channel 54, but does not even cover all of Flint. The station currently broadcasts at 100 watts from a transmitter on Dort Highway (a.k.a. M-54; however, it is unknown if this is how the channel chose its dial position), covering a small area to the southeast of Mount Morris. It does have a construction permit to increase power to 150 kW from a location near Otisville, which will cover Flint and northwestern Genesee County with its directional beam.
Additionally, the station has a translator station, W09CK, which covers part of the north side of Flint at 85 watts.
Since the DTV transition in the United States does not affect low power stations, WXON-LP has no plans to broadcast in digital.
