WTEN (channel 10) is a television station licensed to Albany, New York, United States, serving the Capital District as an affiliate of ABC. Owned by Nexstar Media Group, it is a sister station to Fox affiliate WXXA-TV (channel 23), which is operated under a shared services agreement (SSA) with Mission Broadcasting. The two stations share studios on Northern Boulevard in Albany's Bishop's Gate section; WTEN's transmitter is located on the Helderberg Escarpment west of New Salem.

WTEN formerly operated full-time satellite WCDC-TV (channel 19) in Adams, Massachusetts, with transmitter located on Mount Greylock, the highest peak in Massachusetts. WCDC-TV's signal covered portions of western Massachusetts and southern Vermont that received a marginal to non-existent over-the-air signal from WTEN, although there was significant overlap between the two stations' contours otherwise. WCDC-TV was a straight simulcast of WTEN; the only acknowledgement of the station's existence came during Federal Communications Commission (FCC)-mandated hourly legal identifications. Aside from its transmitter, WCDC-TV did not maintain a physical presence in Adams. Nexstar planned to shut down WCDC-TV on December 1, 2017, via the FCC's spectrum incentive auction, but damage to the station's transmission line forced it to end operations two weeks early on November 19.
