WTVI (channel 19) was a television station in Fort Pierce, Florida, United States. It was the first television station to operate in the Treasure Coast region. The station made two unsuccessful attempts operating, once from November 1960 to January 1961 and again from September 1961 to January 1962. Financial problems related to its UHF operation and competition from a local cable system doomed the venture. WTVI equipment, buildings and personnel later were used in the start-up of two other stations, one of them in Fort Pierce.
