WTOM-TV, known as WILS-TV from 1953 to 1954, was a television station broadcasting on channel 54 at Lansing, Michigan, United States. It was the first UHF station to broadcast in Lansing. Originally owned and operated by radio station WILS (1320 AM), it was leased to other interests in 1954 and changed its call letters to WTOM-TV. Financial difficulties prompted the station to close in October 1956.
