TV Channel Overview
WJXT (News4JAX) is an independent television station based in Jacksonville,
Florida, United States, with local reporting focused on Northeast Florida
and Southeast Georgia. The station devotes much of its schedule to locally
produced news and regional programming, covering public safety, local government,
transportation, sports, investigations, weather, and community affairs.
Its geographic focus reflects Jacksonville’s position near the Atlantic coast and the Florida-Georgia state line. News4JAX reports on communities throughout Northeast Florida as well as parts of Southeast Georgia, while hurricane preparation, tropical weather, coastal conditions, and severe storms are recurring subjects in its weather coverage.
WJXT began broadcasting in 1949 as WMBR-TV, becoming Jacksonville’s first television station and the second television station in Florida. The station later adopted the WJXT call sign and operated for many years as a CBS affiliate. That affiliation ended in 2002, when WJXT became an independent station. Today, its identity is centered on local journalism and regional programming for the broader Jacksonville television market.
