WPXS and KUMO-LP are the two Retro Television Network affiliates serving Southern Illinois and the St. Louis, Missouri, metropolitan area. WPXS serves two DMA areas, St. Louis and Paducah, Kentucky. The stations are owned by the Word Of God Fellowship, and managed by Equity Broadcasting, programmed via satellite from Equity's Little Rock, Arkansas headquarters.

WPXS is based out of Mount Vernon, Illinois and broadcasts to Southern Illinois on channel 13. Their transmitter is located north of Kell, Illinois. The call letters of WPXS stand for Pax Southern Illinois, reflecting the former Pax affiliation. WPXS aired Pax network programming from August, 1998 until late 2004. Pax itself changed its name to i in September of the following year.

KUMO-LP is the satellite station of WPXS. It serves the St. Louis metropolitan area on channel 51.

[edit] History

The precursor to WPXS started operating in June of 1982.

Before becoming WPXS in 1998, this station operated as WCEE "C-13." WCEE was an independent television station which showed a mix of syndicated programs, movies, and reruns, as well as some Chicago Bulls NBA Basketball games during the winter months and some MLB Baseball games of the Chicago Cubs and White Sox during the summer months. WCEE was also unusual for a small-market television station because it produced a 30-minute newscast on weekdays.
