WJHG-TV

WJHG-TV is the NBC-affiliated television station in Panama City, Florida. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 18 (or virtual channel 7.1 via PSIP) from a transmitter on SR 20 in unincorporated Youngstown. Owned by Gray Television, the station is sister to low-powered CBS affiliate WECP-LD and the two outlets share studios on Front Beach Road/SR 30 in Panama City Beach.
==History==

WJHG was founded on December 1, 1953 as WJDM-TV as was owned by local businessman J.D. Manley. It became known by many people as "Wait Just A Darn Minute" (a play on its call letters) because it would frequently go off-the-air with technical problems.〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGM1QAOu6fk〕
At first, the station aired local programming such as church services and wrestling and went as an Independent outlet for a short period of time before securing a primary affiliation with NBC and secondary affiliations with CBS and ABC. Mel Wheeler purchased the station in 1957, and in 1960, James Harrison Gray (the founder of Gray Communications) bought the station and changed the call letters to the current WJHG-TV after his initials.
WJHG dropped CBS in the 1960s after WTVY in Dothan, Alabama became the default CBS affiliate for Panama City as well. That station's transmitter (in Bethlehem, Florida) is technically located in the Panama City market even though its primary coverage area is the Wiregrass Region of Southeastern Alabama. In 1973, WJHG became an exclusive ABC affiliate when WDTB (now WMBB) signed-on taking the NBC affiliation. In 1982, WMBB and WJHG switched networks with this station going back to NBC.
In 1998, WJHG was almost sold when the Phipps family sold WCTV in Tallahassee to Gray Communications. This would have violated the FCC's pre-1996 ownership rules because WJHG's grade B signal covers the extreme western parts of the Tallahassee market. The 1996 Telecommunications Act allowed for overlapping fringe signals so Gray kept WJHG. Instead, Gray ended up selling its flagship station (WALB-TV in Albany, Georgia) because its city-grade signal overlapped that of WCTV's in the Southwestern Georgia portion of the Tallahassee market which was still protected under FCC rules.
In 2002, Gray bought most of Benedek Broadcasting's stations (including WTVY) whose transmitter provides a signal that covers all the way from Fort Walton Beach, Florida to Troy, Alabama. By this time, signal contours were no longer an issue and Gray could keep both stations.

Since both stations had traditionally been available on cable in both the Dothan and Panama City area, WJHG has run WTVY stories that take place in those parts of northwestern Florida that are in northern part of the Panama City market. Meanwhile, WTVY has run WJHG stories focusing on Panama City and the coast.
Sometimes, WTVY will run its own stories on Panama City but WJHG did not cover Dothan at all (Southeastern Alabama's default NBC affiliate was WSFA from Montgomery). Gray launched low-powered WRGX-LD as a Dothan-based NBC affiliate on June 1, 2013 ending WJHG's availability in the Dothan market. On June 28, 2010, WJHG began broadcasting their newscasts in 16:9 enhanced definition widescreen.
