WEPX-TV is one of two Ion Television affiliates for the Greenville/New Bern/Washington, North Carolina television market. The station is owned by ION Media Networks, and is a sister station to WPXU-TV. WEPX operates on UHF digital channel 51, and has operated since December 1998.
WEPX and WPXU were affiliates of MyNetworkTV from September 5, 2006 until September 27, 2009 when MyNetworkTV's affiliation switched over to WITN-TV, prior to this, the stations were solely affiliates of ION (then known as i and originally known as PAX TV). WEPX 38.1 is now broadcasting in High Definition.
This station is not available through DirecTV or Dish Network.
Because it was granted an original construction permit after the FCC finalized the DTV allotment plan on April 21, 1997 [1], the station did not initially receive a companion channel for a digital television station. WEPX was later assigned channel 51, and the digital signal signed on February 5, 2008.
The station's digital channel is multiplexed:
