WFTC (channel 9.2) is a television station licensed to Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States, broadcasting the MyNetworkTV programming service to the Twin Cities area. It is owned and operated by Fox Television Stations alongside Fox outlet KMSP-TV (channel 9). The two stations share studios on Viking Drive in Eden Prairie; WFTC's transmitter is located in Shoreview, Minnesota.

WFTC rebroadcasts its signal on full-power satellite station KFTC (channel 26) in Bemidji (with transmitter near Lake Bemidji State Park) and several low-power repeaters across Minnesota, including the Mankato market (via K23MF-D in nearby St. James^[3] through the local municipal-operated Cooperative TV (CTV) network of translators^[4]^[5]), as that area does not have a MyNetworkTV affiliate of its own.^[6]
