WOWT, virtual channel 6, is an NBC-affiliated television station located in Omaha, Nebraska, United States. The station is owned by Gray Television. WOWT's studios are located near 35th and Farnam streets, near downtown Omaha; and its transmitter is located on a "tower farm" near North 72nd Street and Crown Point Avenue in north-central Omaha. The station is also available on cable through Cox Communications channel 8. Syndicated programs broadcast on WOWT includes Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Jeopardy! and Extra.
WOWT also serves the state capital, Lincoln, located 52 miles from Omaha, with broadcast and cable coverage.
