WLJT is a PBS member station serving western and northwestern Tennessee on channel 11. Its studios are located on the campus of the University of Tennessee at Martin; its transmitter and tower are located in Lexington, Tennessee.
WLJT began operations in March 1968, licensed originally to the state board of education, to serve the schools of the region. For its first 13 years of broadcasting, it repeated the signal of Memphis station WKNO. In 1981, the station inaugurated a separate schedule, including programs of local interest. A few years later, the state education board relinquished the license to a local community board, the West Tennessee Public Television Council. Until 1993, administrative offices were located in Martin, while the technical staff worked in Lexington; microwave links to the transmitter enabled WLJT to consolidate its entire operations in Martin afterward.
