KJNP-TV Channel 4 is a full-service religious television station in North Pole, Alaska. Signing on on December 7, 1981 and becoming a Trinity Broadcasting Network affiliate in the early 1990s, KJNP-TV became the fourth television station in the Fairbanks area after KUAC. Originally broadcasting 16 hours a day, the schedule expanded to 24 hours a day in 2003 thanks to a new transmitter.

KJNP-TV and KJNP AM/FM (which launched in 1967) was founded by Don and Gen Nelson; the former died in 1997.
