WTTV (channel 4) and WTTK (channel 29) are television stations licensed respectively to Bloomington and Kokomo, Indiana, United States, serving as the CBS affiliates for the Indianapolis area. They are owned by Nexstar Media Group alongside Fox affiliate WXIN (channel 59). The stations share studios on Network Place (near 71st Street and I-465) in northwestern Indianapolis. WTTV's transmitter is located on State Road 252 in Trafalgar, while WTTK's transmitter sits on West 73rd Street on the northern outskirts of Indianapolis.

WTTK operates as a full-time satellite of WTTV; its existence is only acknowledged in station identifications. WTTK was originally used to bring WTTV's programming to areas of central Indiana that had trouble receiving the main WTTV signal (including Kokomo, Muncie and Lafayette). However, with the transmitter's relocation into Marion County, it nearly duplicates the signal contours of ABC affiliate WRTV (channel 6), CW affiliate WISH-TV (channel 8), NBC affiliate WTHR (channel 13), MyNetworkTV affiliate WNDY-TV (channel 23), and WXIN. Despite Kokomo being WTTK's city of license, there has never been any physical office or employees located in that area.
