WJPX is a full-power television station in San Juan, Puerto Rico transmitting over analog channel 24, digital 21. The station's programming consists of MTV programs (both locally-produced and imported from the main MTV network), videos and horse races.

The station was founded in 1981 and was a 24 hour news station branded as WSJN Canal 24 Noticias. Some famous puertorrican television reporters started their careers at WSJN, such as Maria Celeste Arraras, Ada Torres Toro, Sol Sostre, Lyanne Melendez, Edna Schmidt and Roberto Cortes.

WJPX is owned and operated by LIN TV, with the MTV branding and programming used under license by Viacom, which, incidentally, once owned two of WJPX's sister stations: WWHO in Columbus, Ohio and WNDY-TV in Indianapolis, before those stations were sold to LIN in 2005.

On October 19, 2006 LIN TV announced that it had entered into an agreement to sell WJPX along with sister station WAPA-TV to InterMedia Partners, L.P. for $130 million in cash.[1] The sale was completed on March 30, 2007.
