WPSD-TV is the NBC-affiliated television station for Western Kentucky's Jackson Purchase region, Southern Illinois, the Missouri Bootheel, Northwestern Tennessee, and far Northeastern Arkansas. Licensed to Paducah, Kentucky, it broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 32 (or virtual channel 6.1 via PSIP) from a transmitter in Monkeys Eyebrow, Kentucky. The station can also be seen on Comcast channel 5, Mediacom channel 6, and Charter channel 10. There is a high definition feed provided on Comcast digital channel 432, Mediacom digital channel 706, and Charter digital channel 785.
Owned by the Paxton Media Group, WPSD has studios on Television Lane in Paducah. Syndicated programming on the station includes Wheel of Fortune, Inside Edition, Jeopardy!, and Dr. Phil among others. It formerly operated a low-powered VHF analog repeater W10AH (channel 10) in Carbondale, Illinois from a transmitter (sharing the WSIU-TV-FM tower) on the Southern Illinois University campus, but the station's license has since been cancelled by the FCC.
