W55BM is a low-power TV station on channel 55 in metro Atlanta. Licensed to Marietta, Georgia, the station is atop Sweat Mountain, northwest of Atlanta. It has had no other callsigns since being permitted in 1988. The station's licensee is Trinity Broadcasting Network, though it no longer airs TBN.
Originally airing The Box music video jukebox, it later became a translator station for WHSG-TV 63. The station is now an affiliate of JCTV, airing Christian rock music videos.
The station is currently on channel 55 with 11.6kW ERP and uses an omnidirectional antenna. It has a construction permit to move to channel 49 with an extremely directional antenna, aimed southeast toward Sandy Springs and North Atlanta. The maximum ERP in that direction will be 48.3kW, and the nearly-circular coverage area will center on Sandy Springs, and ironically cover much less of Marietta.
