KJNP-TV Channel 4 is a full-service religious television station in North Pole, Alaska. Signing on on December 7, 1981 and becoming a Trinity Broadcasting Network affiliate in the early 1990s, KJNP-TV became the fourth television station in the Fairbanks area after KUAC. Originally broadcasting 16 hours a day, the schedule expanded to 24 hours a day in 2003, following the installation of a new transmitter. KJNP- TV is also currently rebroadcasting in HDTV simulcasting the analog programming aired on Channel 4.
