WBTL-LP is a low-power commercial television station in Toledo, Ohio, broadcasting locally on channel 34. Founded September 18, 1990, the station is owned by Venture Technologies Group. The station was formerly an affiliate of The Box, broadcasting locally on channel 5.

It was also an affiliate of America's Store until the network's shutdown on April 3, 2007. Currently WBTL airs paid programing. WBTL-LP has an application to increase power to 150 kW to better serve Toledo's suburbs as well as Bedford Township, Michigan. This has since been dismissed, however a new application has been filed. If approved, the tower would move to Monroe County and serve Monroe and the Downriver Detroit suburbs. However, since there is no request to change the city of license of Toledo, this would be in violation, since the proposed signal does not reach the city.
