Of the four stations, only the Dothan station became NBC, but under different owners, as WRGX-LD. KJNE-LP Jonesboro was sold to Waypoint Media LLC, owners of Fox/CBS affiliate KJNB-LD (and is scheduled to become a satellite of that station),〔("CBS makes debut in northeast Arkansas" )〕 while the licenses in Ottumwa (KUMK-LP)〔(northpine.com: March 2014 )〕 and Jackson (whose transmitter would be re-called WZMC-LP) would later be cancelled, with the Jackson station cancelled in July 2013.〔("Request for Cancellation of License, WZMC-LP, Jackson, TN, Facility Id. 68047", July 30, 2013. )〕 The history of WNBJ-LD originates with the station's construction permit granted in 2011, under the call sign W16DE-D. The current WNBJ-LD call letters replaced their previous translator-style call sign on July 9, 2014. In September 2014, it was confirmed that WNBJ would sign on as an NBC affiliate for the Jackson market.〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFQlmsKPFnk〕〔(Digital TV Market Listing for WNBJ-LD )〕 WMC-TV in Memphis or WSMV in Nashville were previously the default NBC affiliates for the Jackson area via over the air with a very strong antenna, or through cable television. Some of the far northern parts of the local media market (e.g. Northern Gibson County north of Trenton) could pick up WPSD in Paducah, Kentucky until the DTV transition for full-power station took place in 2009. On October 6, 2014, WNBJ went on the air first via Dish Network channel 6 at 11:30 a.m. CT OTA followed in November 2014 and Direct TV in January 2015. NBC was the last of the Big Four television networks to have a local outlet in Jackson. Currently, The Jackson Energy Authority's cable system still pipes in most of the major outlets in Memphis, including WMC-TV. CBS affiliate WTVF is the only Nashville-based media outlet offered on JEA's cable lineup, with WNBJ-LD replacing WSMV on cable channel 4.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WNBJ-LD」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
