WREP-LD (channel 15) is a low-power television station in Martinsville, Indiana, United States, affiliated with YTA TV. The station is owned by the Metropolitan School District of Martinsville and managed by students at Martinsville High School.
The station went on the air in 1990 as W15AY, affiliated with FamilyNet and similar services. It produced local programming for the Martinsville area. The next year, Reporter-Times Inc., publisher of The Daily Reporter newspaper in Martinsville, acquired the station. It continued the local programming until 1992, dropping it due to low viewership and lack of access to the city's cable system. Once the cable system added the station, local programming resumed. The newspaper was acquired in 1998, and in lieu of closing WREP-LP, new owner Schurz Communications donated it to Martinsville High School. The station airs student-produced programming, including local sports.
