WXSP-CD, UHF digital channel 15, is a MyNetworkTV-affiliated television station located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States. The Class A low-power station is owned by Nexstar Media Group, and is a sister station to the duopoly of NBC affiliate WOOD-TV (channel 8) and Battle Creek-based ABC affiliate WOTV (channel 41). All three stations share studios located on College Avenue Southeast in the Heritage Hill section of Grand Rapids, WXSP's transmitter is located in Walker (along I-96).

Overnights, WXSP-CD airs a live feed of WOOD-TV's Doppler weather radar (known as "Storm Track Live"), along with NOAA Weather Radio broadcast audio. The station may sometimes air NBC or ABC programming whenever WOOD-TV and WOTV preempt such shows for breaking news, local specials, or the annual North American International Auto Show charity preview. However, some of the preempted ABC programs are available on WZZM-TV (channel 13).
