History

The station originally launched on digital as WJXE-LP on December 1, 2007 and began branding as "Fresh TV".[1] The station entered an agreement with Comcast to make the station available to all of its 300,000 subscribers in the Jacksonville area. It was to be offered on Comcast channel 14. The station claimed that its local programming was intended to be targeted towards African Americans. Plans for the channel were aborted, and the station never signed on.

The station changed its call sign to WVVQ-LD on June 29, 2009.

The station changed its call sign to the current WUJX-LD on November 10, 2015 and became a Univision affiliate. In the summer of 2018, an entity known as Punch TV leased the station to carry its programming, and the station ended its Univision affiliation. As of late 2018, WUJX became an independent Spanish station, and added several subchannels of shopping and paid programming, ending the lease from Punch TV.

gollark: Immediately undergo exponentiation modulo 7, then.
gollark: I do not understand that sentence ("The alternative is work a political method for political reason.") and it is not pizza, I have had no commercial relations with pizza companies, I am not paid to subliminally advertise pizza, etc.
gollark: I guess maybe in politics/economics/sociology the alternative is something like "lean on human intuition" or "make the correct behaviour magically resolve from self-interest". Not sure how well those actually work.
gollark: - the replication crisis does exist, but it's not like *every paper* has a 50% chance of being wrong - it's mostly in some fields and you can generally estimate which things won't replicate fairly well without much specialized knowledge- science™ agrees on lots of things, just not some highly politicized things- you *can* do RCTs and correlation studies and such, which they seem to be ignoring- some objectivity is better than none- sure, much of pop science is not great, but that doesn't invalidate... all science- they complain about running things based on "trial and error and guesswork", but then don't offer any alternative
