WBOC-LD, virtual and UHF digital channel 42, is a low-powered Telemundo-affiliated television station licensed to Georgetown, Delaware, United States and serving the Salisbury, Maryland television market. Owned by the Draper Holdings Business Trust, it is a sister station to Salisbury-licensed CBS/Fox affiliate WBOC-TV (channel 21). The two stations share main studios in Salisbury, as well as secondary studios/office facilities in Dover and Milton, Delaware.[1]

In November 2017, WBOC-LD secured carriage on Delmarva area cable systems including Comcast Xfinity in Delaware and Maryland and Verizon Fios in Delaware.[2] Also in November, a standard definition simulcast of WBOC-LD started being broadcast on WBOC-TV on channel 42.2. That simulcast ended on August 13, 2018.[3]

In February 2018, the station began producing local news and weather updates in Spanish airing multiple times a day. The newscasts utilize the studio, graphics, music and talent of sister station WBOC-TV.
