WHDT-LD is a digital low-power television station in Boston, Massachusetts which broadcasts on UHF channel 38 (major OTA channel 6). WHDT-LD broadcasts the high definition program schedule of its full service sister-station WHDT in West Palm Beach, Florida. It is a broadcast partner of the Deutsche Welle world television service.
