WHDT-LD

WHDT-LD is an independent television station in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. It operates as a low-power digital television outlet (the "-LD" suffix denotes a low-power digital station in the U.S. FCC call-sign system) and is identified in public reference data simply as an independent television station in Boston. The station's public-facing web presence at whdt.net functions primarily as a compliance and advertising portal rather than a conventional consumer-facing broadcaster website. It provides access to FCC Public Files for WHDT-LD, a program schedule, and a station legal disclaimer covering political advertising. The disclaimer states that advertising rates comply with federal regulations governing equal opportunity, lowest unit charge, and reasonable access for political candidates, and with the political broadcast rules of the Federal Communications Commission. It further notes that WHDT maintains information in its Public File to comply with political advertising time record-keeping, reasonable access, and lowest unit charge requirements of federal law, and that all political advertising aired on the station complies with the political broadcast rules of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. The site also includes a registered-user advertising workflow. Advertisers can sign in or register with an email, password, name, billing address, and credit card number, then manage account billing, files, spots, and bidding. Submitted spots are listed with statuses such as Pending, Approved, and Rejected, along with durations. A scheduling view shows dated program entries with time, duration, and show title; the evidence shows entries for "WarRoom: Pandemic" at 15:10:00 on consecutive dates in May and June 2022, each with a 00:60.00 duration. A bidding view lists the same dated slots with a duration and show title alongside bid values. The site instructs that all spots must be provided for review at least 24 hours before airtime, and that acceptance of spots is pursuant to federal, state, and local laws. As an independent station, WHDT-LD is not described in the available evidence as a network-owned or major-group outlet. Its programming and revenue model, as reflected on its website, center on locally sold advertising and scheduled programming blocks, including the program "WarRoom: Pandemic." The station's identity is therefore best understood as a small-market independent broadcaster whose digital presence is oriented toward FCC compliance, political-advertising record-keeping, and direct advertiser self-service.
