WWLP is the NBC-affiliated television station for the Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts that is licensed to Springfield. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on VHF channel 11 from a transmitter on Provin Mountain in the Feeding Hills section of Agawam.
Owned by Nexstar Media Group, WWLP has studios at Broadcast Center in the Sandy Hill section of Chicopee at the northwest corner of the I-391/MA 116/Chicopee Street interchange. WWLP operates a full-time low-power digital repeater, WFXQ-CD channel 28, that has a transmitter at the top of the old Mount Tom Ski Area in Holyoke.
Due to the close proximity of the Springfield-Holyoke and Hartford-New Haven markets, many stations in Connecticut can be viewed in the Southern Pioneer Valley. Since WWLP's transmitter on Provin Mountain is not far from the state line, this can be picked up in northern areas of the state. WVIT, which serves as Connecticut's NBC affiliate except for Fairfield County, is currently the only Hartford/New Haven big three station offered on Comcast's basic tier. Charter customers have access to WVIT, but only with a digital set top box.
