WNPX is a television station licensed to Cookeville, Tennessee which broadcasts on Channel 28. It is owned and operated by ION Media Networks (the former Paxson Communications).
WNPX is located almost 70 miles (110 km) east of Nashville and its UHF signal reaches the western portion of the Nashville television market only with great difficulty, if at all. For this reason the station utilizes a translator on WNPX-LP channel 20 to reach the western portion of Nashville.
WNPX is affiliated with the ION Television network (formerly PAX-TV and i). The callsign is derived from "Nashville PaX." The station signed on January 14, 1991, as WMTT-TV, an independent station. WMTT changed its call sign to WKZX in 1994, became an affiliate of the WB Television Network in 1995, and then became WNPX in 1998, broadcasting Pax programming.
