WANF-LD, virtual and UHF digital channel 20, is a low-powered television station licensed to Jackson, Tennessee, United States. The station is owned by Gray Television of Atlanta, Georgia. The station broadcasts its signal from a transmitter along New Deal Road just off U.S. Route 70 in unincorporated Madison County, Tennessee just outside of Jackson.
History[]
The station's construction permit was granted on February 22, 2011, under the ownership of local businesswoman Sarah W. Stopford.[1] Stopford would sell the station in 2015, to DTV America who would sign the station on a year later in January 2016.[2] The station would sign on as an affiliate of Escape (now Court TV Mystery) and Laff until 2020.[3]
WHJK and WYJJ-LD were two of several dozen DTV America stations that would be purchased by HC2 Holdings in October 2017.[4][5][6]
It was announced in 2020 that Atlanta-based Gray Television would be acquiring WHJK-LD from HC2 Holdings. The process would be finalized on July 30, 2020; on August 1, the station would be taken silent and go off the air while Gray finalizes future plans for the station.[7][8][9] Gray is currently in the process of relocating the facility to channel 32 from a site northwest of Jackson due to interference from adjacent-channel WJKT (channel 21).
