WMTV, channel 15, is a NBC television affiliate serving Madison, Wisconsin. It is owned by Gray Television. Its transmitter is located in Madison.

WMTV signed on the air in July 1953 on channel 33 and was an affiliate of ABC, DuMont, and NBC. In 1956, WKOW-TV, which had the CBS affiliation, picked up the ABC affiliation from WMTV after losing CBS to then-new VHF station WISC-TV, thus resulting in WMTV becoming solely affiliated with NBC.

In 1960 WMTV switched channels from 33 to 15, where it remains today.
