W47CK (branded as "WMYW") channel 47 is a television station in Wilmington, North Carolina serving as the area's MyNetworkTV affiliate. The station is licensed in Shallotte, with its transmitter located northeast of that town. Currently the station is only available over the air, as satellite and cable providers have not picked up the station.

W47CK is owned by WBHQ Columbia, LLC of Columbia, South Carolina, owner of fellow My Network TV affiliate WKTC.

W47CK is one of two television stations in the Wilmington market which will continue to operate analog signals after the market's voluntary digital switchover on September 8, 2008. Unlike public broadcasting station WUNJ, W47CK has no digital facilities, and has not applied for digital facilities or a "flash cut" to digital with the Federal Communications Commission.

Low-power TV stations like W47CK are not required to switch to digital in the United States on the national digital transition date, February 17, 2009, though two other low-power stations (CBS affiliate WILM-LD and Trinity Broadcasting Network station W51CW) have made the switch voluntarily in Wilmington.
