WJPW-CD is a Class-A television station located in and licensed to Weirton, West Virginia. The station is a repeater station which airs WEPA-CD full-time.
History
WJPW-CD began operation as a station licensed to Steubenville, Ohio on channel 57 with the call sign W57BH. The station was then a repeater for independent Pittsburgh station WBGN-CD.
A move from ch.57 to ch.18 was required when WTOV-TV was granted digital facilities on ch.57. Shortly after moving to ch.18 the WJPA-CA call-sign was granted and the station began repeating WVTX-CA.
On September 19, 2006, after WVTX-CA closed its studios in Wheeling, West Virginia, the station once again began to repeat WBGN-LP.
On January 7, 2013, the station changed to the current WJPW-CD call sign.
