WJXX-TV
WJXX (channel 25) is a television station licensed to Orange Park, Florida, United States, serving the Jacksonville area as an affiliate of ABC. It is owned by Tegna Inc. alongside NBC affiliate WTLV (channel 12). Both stations share studios on East Adams Street (near TIAA Bank Field) in downtown Jacksonville, while WJXX's transmitter is located on Anders Boulevard in the city's Killarney Shores section.

Even though the founding owner, Allbritton Communications, built studios and started a local news team, WJXX made littl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
