WVPX-TV is a television station licensed to Akron, Ohio, United States, serving the Cleveland area as an affiliate of Ion Television. Owned by Inyo Broadcast Holdings, it is jointly operated with Canton-licensed Scripps News affiliate WDLI-TV, which transmits using WVPX-TV's full-power spectrum via a channel sharing agreement.
WAKR-TV's original 120-foot (37 m) transmitter mast was on the roof of the current Huntington Tower (pictured in 2012).
Symbolic of the many issues the station would face, a full-page ad for WAKR-TV's launch contained UHF converter installation instructions.
