WPXM-TV, virtual and UHF digital channel 35, is an Ion Television owned-and-operated television station licensed to Miami, Florida, United States and also serving Fort Lauderdale. Owned by Ion Media Networks, WPXM maintains offices and master control facilities located on Northwest 14th Street in Sunrise, and its transmitter is located on Southwest 27th Street in West Park. It also shares a sales office with Lake Worth-licensed sister station WPXP-TV (serving the West Palm Beach market) on Northeast 20th Avenue in North Miami. On cable, the station is available on Comcast Xfinity channels 16 (standard definition) and 437 (high definition).
The station first signed on the air in October 1992 as WMLB-TV. Originally operating as an independent station, the station changed its call letters to WDLP-TV in 1993, before changing it again to WCTD several months later. Channel 35 was acquired by Paxson Communications (the forerunner of Ion Media Networks) in 1997. Shortly after the sale was finalized, the station became an affiliate of the Infomail TV Network (inTV), which carried an infomercial format. On August 31, 1998, the station's call letters were changed to WPXM-TV; that same date, the station became a charter owned-and-operated station of Pax TV (now Ion Television).
