KTPN-LD (channel 48) is a low-power television station licensed to Tyler, Texas, United States, affiliated with MyNetworkTV. It is owned by Nexstar Media Group alongside Jacksonville-licensed NBC affiliate KETK-TV (channel 56); Nexstar also provides certain services to Longview-licensed Fox affiliate KFXK-TV (channel 51) under a shared services agreement (SSA) with White Knight Broadcasting. The stations share studios on Richmond Road (near Loop 323) in Tyler, while KTPN-LD's transmitter is located west of Texas Loop 323 northeast of the city.

KTPN-LD's signal was formerly relayed on KLPN-LD (channel 47) in Longview, which provided KTPN-LD's programming to the central and eastern portions of the market; that station's transmitter was located near East Mountain, Texas. KLPN-LD's license was canceled on June 6, 2016.

Due to KTPN-LD's low power status, its broadcasting radius only covers the immediate Tyler area. Therefore, in order to reach the entire market, the station is simulcast in high definition on KFXK's second digital subchannel (51.2) from a transmitter near FM 125 in rural northwestern Rusk County (northwest of New London).
