WTTV, virtual channel 4 (UHF digital channel 48), is a CBS-affiliated television station serving Indianapolis, Indiana, United States that is licensed to Bloomington. The station is owned by the Tribune Broadcasting subsidiary of Tribune Media, as part of a duopoly with Fox affiliate WXIN (channel 59). The two stations share studio facilities located at 6910 Network Place (near 71st Street & I-465) in the Intech Park office development in northwestern Indianapolis; WTTV maintains transmitter facilities located on State Road 252 in Trafalgar.

WTTV operates a full-time satellite station, WTTK (virtual and UHF digital channel 29) in Kokomo, which maintains transmitter facilities on a tower shared with WXIN located on West 73rd Street/Westlane Road on the northern outskirts of Indianapolis (west of Meridian Hills). WTTK was originally used to bring WTTV's programming to areas of central Indiana that received marginal to non-existent reception of the main WTTV signal (including the cities of Kokomo, Muncie and Lafayette). However, post-digital transition with the transmitter's relocation into Marion County, it nearly duplicates the signal contour of WISH-TV, WRTV and WXIN; there is significant overlap between the coverage areas of both WTTV and WTTK's signals otherwise. On-air references to WTTK are limited to FCC-mandated hourly station identifications during newscasts and other programming, along with tuning recommendations for viewers to the north of Indianapolis.
