WTCN-CD (channel 43) is a low-power, Class A television station licensed to Palm Beach, Florida, United States, serving the West Palm Beach area as an affiliate of MyNetworkTV. It is owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group alongside CBS affiliate WPEC (channel 12), CW affiliate WTVX (channel 34), and Class A TBD owned-and-operated station WWHB-CD (channel 48). The stations share studios on Fairfield Drive in Mangonia Park (with a West Palm Beach postal address); WTCN-CD's transmitter is located southwest of Hobe Sound, Florida.

Due to WTCN's low-power status, the station's directional antenna pattern prevents it from reaching Vero Beach (to the north) and Boca Raton (to the south). In order to expand the broadcasting radius, WTCN is simulcast in standard definition on WTVX's third digital subchannel (34.3) from a transmitter southwest of Palm City.

WTCN-CD brands as My 15 after the cable channel position on most West Palm Beach area cable providers.
