WAPK-CD (channel 36) is a low-power, Class A television station licensed to Kingsport, Tennessee, United States, serving the Tri-Cities area as an affiliate of MeTV. It is owned by Glenwood Communications Corporation alongside Cozi TV affiliate WKPT-TV (channel 19) and several radio stations. All of the stations share studios on Commerce Street in downtown Kingsport; WAPK-CD's transmitter is located on Holston High Point at Holston Mountain in the Cherokee National Forest.

Due to its low-power status, the broadcasting radius does not reach all of the Tri-Cities area. Therefore, the station is simulcast in 16:9 widescreen standard definition on WKPT's second digital subchannel in order to reach the entire market. This relay signal can be seen on channel 19.2 from the same transmitter facility.
