WPSD-TV is an NBC affiliate based in Paducah, Kentucky. It is owned by Paxton Media Group, a locally based family-run publishing company that also owns the city's daily newspaper, "The Paducah Sun". WPSD debuted on the air on May 28, 1957. The "PSD" stands for "Paducah Sun-Democrat", the former name of the "Sun". Sam Champion, who is the current weather anchor on "Good Morning America", got his start at WPSD.

The station is part of the Paducah/Cape Girardeau/Harrisburg TV market and covers far western Kentucky, southern Illinois, southeastern Missouri and northwestern Tennessee. Studios and offices are in Paducah and linked to its transmitter located near Kevil, Kentucky in an area of Ballard County known as Monkeys Eyebrow, a fact which was noted during WPSD's nightly "sign off" message. An additional translator, W10AH, is in Carbondale, Illinois.

The station also produces the 9pm newscast for Fox affiliate KBSI.
