WTCV is a full-service television station in San Juan, Puerto Rico transmitting over analog channel 18, digital 32. The station's programming consists of music videos.

During the 1980s and early 1990s, WTCV was known as WSJU (SJU standing for San Juan International Airport's ID) and was an NBC affiliate, one of two commercial English-language networked stations broadcasting in Puerto Rico (the other being WPRV-TV) during the 80s. There are now three commercial network-affiliated stations in Puerto Rico, all of which broadcast from Mayaguez.
