WPXD-TV (Detroit)

WPXD-TV is a television station licensed to Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States, serving as the Ion Television affiliate for the Detroit area. Owned by Inyo Broadcast Holdings, the station broadcasts from a transmitter on West 11 Mile Road in Southfield, Michigan.

Channel 31 in Ann Arbor was inserted in 1973 at the request of Gershom Morningstar, a local resident. His company won a construction permit in 1975 but ran out of time to build the station. Satellite Syndicated Systems bought it from Morningstar and put the station on the air in January 1981 as WRHT, soon changed to WIHT. The station offered a mix of commercial ad-supported programming, chiefly from the company's own Satellite Program Network, and a subscription television service known as In-Home Theater. By late 1982, IT was running for nearly all of the station's broadcast week; this continued until it was discontinued on November 1, 1985. WIHT returned to Satellite Program Network shows as well as some local programming.
