KKTQ-LD (channel 16) is a low-power television station in Cheyenne, Wyoming, United States, affiliated with ABC. The station is owned by Vision Alaska LLC, which operates Fox affiliate KLWY (channel 27) under a shared services agreement (SSA) with the Coastal Television Broadcasting Company. KKTQ-LD's transmitter is located on Happy Jack Road (WYO 210) west of the city.

Although identifying as a station in its own right, KKTQ-LD is considered a semi-satellite of ABC affiliate KTWO-TV (channel 2) in Casper. As such, it simulcasts all network and syndicated programming as provided by its parent, but airs separate station identifications and commercials. In addition, it shares a website with KTWO, KLWY, KGWC and KFNB (the latter two are the CBS and Fox affiliates in Casper, respectively), and also it airs newscasts produced by KLWY.

KKTQ-LD's low-power broadcast radius does not cover the entire Cheyenne–Scottsbluff television market. As such, it is simulcast in 480i widescreen standard definition on the second digital subchannel of KLWY in order to reach the entire market.^[3]
