WHTV is the My Network TV affiliate licensed to Jackson, Michigan. It broadcasts its analog signal on UHF channel 18 at 200,000 watts from an 899-feet-tall transmitter located near Onondaga, Michigan, on the border between Ingham and Jackson Counties.

The station signed on it in 1999, carrying programming from Bloomberg Television and Jewelry Television. It became a UPN affiliate on October 16, 2000. The station had been housed at Lansing's ABC affiliate WLAJ since 2002, along with its cable-only sister station WBL 5. In 2006, WHTV relocated from WLAJ's complex to the studios of CBS affiliate WLNS-TV.

As a UPN affiliate, WHTV used to carry the CBS Sports feed of the U.S. Open Tennis Championships while WLNS-TV aired the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon on Labor Day. The station also occasionally carried Saturday NCAA football games from ABC when they conflicted with WLAJ's commitment to broadcast the ESPN Plus college football and basketball packages, which later ended with the launch of the Big Ten Network for the 2007-2008 season.

In addition to the usual lineup of classic sitcoms and syndicated shows, WHTV is the broadcast home for the Detroit Pistons for the Lansing/Jackson market.
