WTPX-TV, virtual channel 46 (UHF digital channel 19), is an Ion Television owned-and-operated station licensed to Antigo, Wisconsin, United States and serving north-central Wisconsin, including Wausau and Rhinelander. The station is owned by West Palm Beach, Florida-based Ion Media Networks (the former Paxson Communications). WTPX-TV's transmitter is located near Glandon, Wisconsin. The station's main studio facilities for the purposes of Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations are located in the Milwaukee suburb of Glendale with that market's Ion station, Kenosha-licensed WPXE-TV (channel 55).

Paxson Communications/Ion Media Networks chose to run WTPX-TV as a digital-only station upon signing on in 2001, and held no analog license for the station. Thus, WTPX-TV never had any digital transition channel, flash-cut or analog transition period. It moved from its original physical channel 46 to channel 19 during the FCC's spectrum repack in June 2018, but continues to use channel 46 as its PSIP channel position.
