WSBK-TV, virtual channel 38 (UHF digital channel 39), is a MyNetworkTV owned-and-operated television station located in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. Owned and operated by the CBS Television Stations subsidiary of CBS Corporation, it is part of a duopoly with CBS owned-and-operated station WBZ-TV (channel 4). The two stations share studios on Soldiers Field Road in the Brighton section of Boston, and its transmitter is located along the Needham and Wellesley town line (southwest of the MA 9 and I-95/MA 128 interchange).
WSBK is also available via direct broadcast satellite throughout the United States on Dish Network as part of its superstation package (which since September 2013, is available only to existing subscribers of the tier). Otherwise, it carries cable coverage throughout much of the New England region, though this has been limited compared to the past when it was more widely distributed. WSBK is one of two CBS-owned stations carrying the Fox-owned MyNetworkTV service, along with WBFS-TV in Miami.
