WPXD-TV

WPXD-TV (channel 31) is a television station licensed to Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States, serving as the Ion Television affiliate for the Detroit area. Owned by Inyo Broadcast Holdings, the station broadcasts from a transmitter on West 11 Mile Road in Southfield, Michigan.

Channel 31 in Ann Arbor was inserted in 1973 at the request of Gershom Morningstar, a local resident. His company won a construction permit in 1975 but ran out of time to build the station. Satellite Syndicated Systems bought it from Morningstar and put the station on the air in January 1981 as WRHT, soon changed to WIHT. The station offered a mix of commercial ad-supported programming, chiefly from the company's own Satellite Program Network, and a subscription television service known as In-Home Theater (IT). By late 1982, IT was running for nearly all of the station's broadcast week; this continued until it was discontinued on November 1, 1985. WIHT returned to Satellite Program Network shows as well as some local programming.

In 1987, the station switched its format to home shopping from the Home Shopping Network (HSN). Two years later, it was purchased by Blackstar Communications, a Black-owned firm in which HSN held an equity interest, retaining its program format but changing its call sign to WBSX. Paxson Communications Corporation acquired WBSX in 1997; it aired Paxson's Infomall TV infomercial network before becoming one of the charter stations of the Pax network—now Ion—as WPXD-TV the next year. In 2012, it relocated its transmitter facility from Lyndon Township, where it had been located since signing on the air, to Southfield. Inyo acquired WPXD in 2021 as part of a purchase of conflict stations stemming from the E. W. Scripps Company's purchase of Ion Media.
