WCTX, virtual channel 59 (UHF digital channel 39), is a television station licensed to New Haven, Connecticut, United States, serving as the MyNetworkTV affiliate for the Hartford–New Haven television market. The station is owned by Nexstar Media Group, as part of a duopoly with ABC affiliate WTNH (channel 8). The two stations share studios on Elm Street in Downtown New Haven; however, master control and some internal operations originate from hub facilities at Nexstar-owned NBC affiliate WWLP in Chicopee, Massachusetts. WCTX's transmitter is located in Hamden.
WCTX is available on channel 9 on almost all of Connecticut's cable systems, this is reflected in the station's on-air branding "MyTV9". Like sister station WTNH, WCTX has a large Fairfield County audience as well. This area is part of the New York City television market, which is where MyNetworkTV flagship WWOR-TV is based. WCTX is considered an alternate ABC affiliate, airing that network's programs when WTNH is unable to do so such as during extended breaking news coverage or a local special.
