WTTG (channel 5) is a television station in Washington, D.C., serving as the market's Fox network outlet. It is owned and operated by the network's Fox Television Stations division alongside MyNetworkTV station WDCA (channel 20). WTTG and WDCA share studios on Wisconsin Avenue in Bethesda, Maryland. Through a channel sharing agreement, the stations transmit using WTTG's spectrum from a tower also located in Bethesda on River Road at the site of WDCA's former studio facilities.
WTTG's signal is rebroadcast on a low-power digital translator station, W24ES-D, in Moorefield, West Virginia[4] (which is owned by Valley TV Cooperative, Inc.).
