WXXW-LP, VHF analog channel 6, was a low-powered television station licensed to Binghamton, New York, United States. The station is owned by the Johnson Broadcasting Company (unrelated to the Houston-based broadcaster).

WXXW-LP operated as a "Franken-FM," an analog television station that took advantage of the NTSC standard, in which the audio feed can be tuned in on any analog FM radio at the proper frequency; for channel 6, the frequency is 87.75 MHz, just below the FM band. As such, WXXW-LP was programmed as a radio station at 87.7 with an urban oldies format billed as "Passion Radio."

WXXW-LP ceased broadcasting on or shortly before July 13, 2021, the date set by the Federal Communications Commission for all remaining low-power television stations to cease broadcasting in analog. Johnson Broadcasting Company holds a construction permit to return to the air on the same channel 6.[1]
