WPXU-TV operates as a full-time satellite of Greenville-licensed WEPX-TV (channel 38). WPXU covers areas of southeastern North Carolina that receive a marginal to non-existent over-the-air signal from WEPX, although there is significant overlap between the two stations' contours otherwise, including in Jacksonville proper. WPXU is a straight simulcast of WEPX; on-air references to WPXU are limited to Federal Communications Commission (FCC)-mandated hourly station identifications during programming. Aside from the transmitter, WPXU does not maintain any physical presence locally in Jacksonville.

WPXU-TV and WEPX-TV were affiliates of MyNetworkTV from September 5, 2006 until September 27, 2009 when MyNetworkTV's affiliation switched over to WITN-TV, prior to this, the stations were solely affiliates of Ion (then known as i: Independent Television and originally known as Pax TV).

gollark: Probably.
gollark: ++magic py ```import mathreturn math.sqrt(1050)```
gollark: It does, you realise, support multiple lines.
gollark: <@263493613860814848> Well, it's very simple. Apparently YOU experienced a weird quirk where it suddenly decided to allow you to use it, *possibly* because of some inconsistent weirdness in the way discord.py works. Then I took it down and really quickly wrote a hotfix to do it in a more recommended way which should work.
