WSHM-LD is the low-powered, CBS-affiliated television station for the Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts. Licensed to Springfield, it broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 21 (or virtual channel 3.5 via PSIP) from a transmitter on Ridge Road in Wilbraham. Owned by the Meredith Corporation, the station is sister to ABC/Fox/MyNetworkTV affiliate WGGB-TV. The two outlets share studios together on Liberty Street in Springfield.
Although considered a separate station in its own right, WSHM is actually operated as a semi-satellite of WFSB in Hartford/New Haven, Connecticut.
WSHM airs separate commercials inserts and its own legal identifications. Master control and some internal operations are based within WFSB's studios on Capital Boulevard in Rocky Hill, Connecticut.
The station signed-on as W42AU in 1988 airing a low-powered analog signal, on UHF channel 42, from a transmitter on Mount Tom in Holyoke. The station served as the Pioneer Valley's over-the-air repeater of the Trinity Broadcasting Network without any local deviation outside of station identification. In 1994, it moved to UHF channel 67 and became W67DF.
