WUHQ-LP (Channel 29) is a television station in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It is owned and operated by Equity Broadcasting, as an affiliate of the America One network.

The station signed on in May 2003 airing America's Store programming, but switched to its current affiliation two years later. It is well known in the Grand Rapids area for its "TV Mall" television series.

In 2005 WUHQ added programming from the Mas Musica network to its schedule, and today WUHQ is a bilingual (Spanish and English language) television station. The station now airs videos of various Latin American music styles, including salsa/cumbia, regional Mexican, and contemporary Spanish-language hits. On September 25, 2006, Mas Musica was revamped as the new MTV Tr3s network, which was created as a result of Viacom's acquisition of Mas Musica.

The WUHQ call letters were previously used by Channel 41 in Battle Creek -- its owners, P&P Cable Holdings, is known for picking up calls discarded by Michigan's radio and TV stations.

The logo for WUHQ (and its Traverse City sister, WLLZ-LP) is based on the logo for Tampa Bay's CBS affiliate, WTSP.

According to the June 14, 2006 FCC Digest, it's been announced that Marquette Broadcasting will be acquiring WUHQ from P&P. Marquette Broadcasting is the license name for Equity Broadcasting, who also owns two other stations in Michigan -- Marquette dual-Fox/MNTV affiliate WMQF and Detroit Univision affiliate WUDT-CA. The sale closed in Fall 2006. In November 2006, there was reports of a substantial change in WUHQ's programming as a result; to date, it is currently unknown what programming they offer.
