KJNB-LD, virtual and UHF digital channel 39, is a low-powered Fox-affiliated television station located in Jonesboro, Arkansas, United States. The station is owned by Waypoint Media, LLC. KJNB maintains studio facilities in downtown Jonesboro, and its transmitter is located on Highway 91/Southern Avenue in unincorporated Lawrence County, southeast of Walnut Ridge.
History
The station first signed on the air on June 1, 2015 as the market's second commercial television station, after ABC/NBC affiliate KAIT channel 8, which signed on the air in July 1963 as an independent station. Until this point, Fox programming was available in northeast Arkansas over-the-air and on cable through WHBQ-TV (channel 13) in Memphis, Tennessee (prior to former owner Fox Television Stations' purchase of WHBQ in 1995, area cable systems previously piped in that station's predecessor affiliates: WMKW-TV (channel 30, now CW affiliate WLMT) from 1987 to 1990, and WPTY-TV (channel 24, now ABC affiliate WATN-TV) from 1990 until it lost the Fox affiliation to WHBQ).[1] Despite being licensed as a low-powered television station, Waypoint Media secured the affiliation agreement with Fox by promising to provide coverage of at least 93% of the market through its over-the-air signal and through distribution on local cable and satellite providers.[1]
Concurrent with the launch of KJNB, Waypoint Media took over promotional and advertising responsibilities of the area's cable-only CW affiliate "The CW Jonesboro". As a result, CW programming was added part-time on the station's main signal, with plans to operate KJNE-LP channel 42 as a primary CW affiliate.[1] Except for local commercials, all programming is provided through the national CW Plus service.
CBS is the only major television network not available on a local outlet in Jonesboro. WREG-TV in Memphis and Little Rock-based KTHV remain the default CBS affiliates.
