WFXW is a currently silent and unused television station licensed to Greenville, Mississippi, United States and serving the Delta area of northwestern Mississippi. From 1980 to 2016, the station broadcast as CBS affiliate WXVT. It is licensed to broadcast a high definition digital signal on virtual and UHF channel 15 from a transmitter northeast of Shaw. Owned by John Wagner, the station is operated by Northwest Broadcasting under a shared services agreement, making it a sister station to Greenwood-licensed dual ABC/Fox affiliate WABG-TV (channel 6) and Grenada-licensed low-power NBC affiliate WNBD-LD (channel 33). The station has studios on East Reed Road in Greenville.

History

Its first broadcast was on November 7, 1980,[1] under the call sign WXVT. It had been a CBS affiliate for its entire existence. Before this, WJTV in Jackson had served as the default affiliate. The station was originally owned by Big River Broadcasting. Future sister station WABG was actually the Delta's original CBS affiliate when it launched back in October 1959. However, a few months later, WJTV complained that WABG was encroaching on its service area. This is because WABG's signal reaches the far northern fringes of the Jackson market. Big River Broadcasting sold the station to Lamco Communications in 1984. Lamco then sold WXVT to a local ownership group in 1991. Saga Communications purchased WXVT in 1999.

On May 4, 2012, an application was filed with the FCC to transfer ownership of WXVT from Saga Communications to H3 Communications. H3 Communications is owned by the adult children of Charles Harker, president of Commonwealth Broadcasting Group, which owns WABG and WNBD. On January 28, 2013, the FCC granted the sale of WXVT, and it was completed two days later.[2][3] Commonwealth then took over WXVT's operations, effectively bringing all of the Delta's Big Three network stations under the control of one company.

H3 Communications agreed to sell WXVT to Cala Broadcast Partners for $3.7 million on October 30, 2015;[4] concurrently, Cala would purchase WABG-TV, WNBD-LD, and WFXW-LD from Commonwealth Broadcasting Group.[5] Cala is jointly owned by Brian Brady (who owns several other television stations, mostly under the Northwest Broadcasting name) and Jason Wolff (who owns radio and television stations through Frontier Radio Management).[5] On November 30, 2015, Cala assigned its right to purchase WXVT to John Wagner for $100,000.[4] The sale was completed on August 1, 2016;[6] on that date, the station went off the air, with Wagner stating in a filing with the FCC that it was looking for new programming.[7]

The station changed its call sign to WFXW on June 26, 2017.

Programming

Syndicated programming on the then-WXVT included Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy!, Divorce Court, and Judge Joe Brown.
