WPXS
WPXS, virtual channel 13 (UHF digital channel 21), is a Daystar owned-and-operated television station serving St. Louis, Missouri, United States that is licensed to Mount Vernon, Illinois (although licensed to a city within the Paducah, Kentucky/Cape Girardeau, Missouri/Harrisburg, Illinois television market). The station is owned by the Daystar Television Network. WPXS maintains offices located on Cartter Road in Kell, and its transmitter is located near Saint Rose, Illinois.
==History==
The station first signed on the air on March 13, 1983 as WCEE, which branded itself on-air as "C-13". It was the second independent station to serve the Paducah/Cape Girardeau/Harrisburg market, following WDXR-TV, which operated from 1971 to 1981, when it donated the station's broadcast license to the PBS member network Kentucky Educational Television. WCEE was a typical independent station airing a mix of first-run and off-network syndicated programs, and movies. It also aired simulcasts of NBA games from the Chicago Bulls, and Cubs and White Sox Major League Baseball games from WGN-TV in Chicago. Unusual for a small-market independent station, WCEE produced a half-hour newscast on weekdays, and also carried ''PM Magazine''.〔http://www.radio-info.com/smf/index.php/topic,90154.0.html〕
In 1998, the station was sold to Paxson Communications (the forerunner of Ion Media Networks), and changed its callsign to the current WPXS. At the same time, it signed on a translator station in St. Louis, KUMO-LP (channel 51). WPXS and KUMO became charter affiliates of Paxson's family-oriented broadcast network Pax TV when the network launched on August 31, 1998, serving as that network's owned-and-operated station for both the Paducah/Cape Girardeau/Harrisburg and St. Louis markets. WPXS' transmitter, which was located north of Kell, Illinois, was close enough to St. Louis to cover most of the Illinois portion of the St. Louis market; St. Louis itself was served by KUMO-LP. In 2004, the station affiliated with the Daystar religious broadcast network. The following year, Equity Broadcasting bought the station from Paxson; WPXS subsequently rejoined Pax (which rebranded as i: Independent Television that summer, and then to Ion Television in 2007).
In 2008, WPXS affiliated with the Retro Television Network, a network owned by Equity at the time. By this time, the bulk of the station's audience was located in St. Louis. In 2010, Daystar purchased WPXS outright; this resulted in the station switching back to the network on August 12 of that year. With that move, DirecTV pulled WPXS from its St. Louis local station lineup on September 11, 2010, as WPXS had become a straight simulcast of Daystar's national feed (unlike fellow religious network, TBN, Daystar's television stations do not produce any local programming). On Dish Network, the provider lists Daystar programming as airing on WPXS, though the provider continues to offer the Retro Television Network feed.
