WXAX-LP channel 26, is a low-power broadcast television station based in Tampa, Florida, owned by Una Vez Mas Holdings, LLC. It is currently Tampa Bay's Azteca America affiliate. The station has been on the air intermittently since the early-1990s. Previously, WXAX-LP was home to SUR (another Spanish network), HTV (Latino music videos) and UATV (general entertainment).

The station was originally licensed and originated in St. Petersburg and, later, Clearwater. It is now licensed in Tampa, broadcasting from the Riverview antenna farm, directional towards Tampa. The general signal area covers most of Tampa and southwestern Hillsborough County, but barely reaches Pinellas County.

The station is a Class-A operation, even though the calls still list it as a "-LP".

WXAX is available only through a UHF antenna; no cable companies have included this channel in their line-ups.

On February 19, 2009, which is the end of the digital TV conversion period for full-service stations, WXAX-LP will be required to turn off its analog signal and turn on its digital signal (called a "flash-cut").
