'''WPXC-TV''' (channel 21) is a [[television station]] licensed to [[Brunswick, Georgia]], United States, broadcasting the [[Ion Television]] network to the [[Jacksonville, Florida]], area. It is the only major [[commercial broadcasting|commercial]] station in the Jacksonville market that is licensed in [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]]. The station is [[owned and operated]] by the [[Ion Media]] subsidiary of the [[E. W. Scripps Company|E.{{nbsp}}W. Scripps Company]] and broadcasts from a transmitter in southwestern [[Camden County, Georgia]], northwest of [[Kingsland, Georgia|Kingsland]].

Channel 21 began broadcasting as WBSG-TV on April 2, 1990. It was an [[independent station]] owned by Coastal Com, Inc., and had studios on Blythe Island Highway ([[Georgia State Route 303|State Route 303]]) in southwestern Brunswick, as well as a full local news department serving coastal southeastern Georgia. In 1995, WBSG-TV became the nearest affiliate of [[The WB]] to Jacksonville. [[Allbritton Communications]] purchased WBSG-TV in 1996 and immediately announced it would become the new [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] affiliate for Jacksonville, replacing [[WJKS-TV]]. An attempt to move the tower from its original location at [[Hickox, Georgia|Hickox]] south to Kingsland was delayed, but a height increase allowed the station to put a fringe signal into areas of Jacksonville north of [[Interstate 10 in Florida|Interstate 10]]. When WJKS-TV without warning preempted more than half of ABC's prime time shows beginning in January 1997, [[WJXX]] (channel 25) was rushed into service to fill the gap. WJXX soon became the primary station in the arrangement; the Brunswick news operation was closed in 1998.

When Allbritton sold WJXX to [[Gannett]] in 2000, WBSG-TV was not included. It immediately switched to programming from the Pax network, predecessor to Ion, and was sold outright to the network later that year.

==History==
===Establishment and early years===
Plans for a commercial television station in Brunswick dated to 1979, when the [[Federal Communications Commission]] (FCC) allotted the city channel 21 at the request of COR Communications. COR then applied for the [[construction permit]] to build the proposed station.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.genealogybank.com/newspaper-clippings/cor-communications-seeks-local-tv-channel/kxyyomyayzmabpdeytkltypicpfiwqey_ip-10-166-46-89_1737583966664|page=14A|work=[[The Brunswick News]]|title=COR Communications Seeks Local TV Channel|date=January 7, 1980}}</ref> COR Communications was hopeful that their station could attract a national network affiliation.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.genealogybank.com/newspaper-clippings/brunswick-may-be-getting-commercial-tv-within-year/kowtlwkmlonieplexztmznfwhfjkqqdq_ip-10-166-46-179_1737584192763|page=12A|date=April 2, 1981|title=Brunswick May Be Getting Commercial TV Within a Year|work=The Brunswick News|first=Gray|last=Thomas}}</ref> Two other groups—CMM, Inc., and Golden East Broadcasters—also applied for channel 21, and the FCC designated all three applications for [[comparative hearing]] in 1983.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.genealogybank.com/newspaper-clippings/local-notice-announcement/sgsqyhypkincckmktcuvulxxjzhppapk_ip-10-166-46-147_1737584245277|title=Local Notice Announcement|work=The Brunswick News|page=4C|date=September 29, 1983}}</ref> COR won the construction permit, but its station was never built, and an attempt to replace the construction permit was denied in September 1986.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://fccdata.org/?facid=&call=DWHJF&ccode=1&city=&state=&country=US&zip=&arn=&party=&lmspf=&lmspl=&party_type=ELMFA&latd=&lond=&lang=en|title=WHJF|website=fccdata.org}}</ref>

WBSG-TV began broadcasting on April 2, 1990.

===ABC affiliation===
{{see|WJXX}}
On February 16, 1996, [[Allbritton Communications]] announced it had agreed to purchase WBSG-TV from Coastal Com for $10.5 million and that the station would become the new [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] affiliate for the Jacksonville market in 1997 as part of a group affiliation agreement with the network. Allbritton announced it would build new transmitter facilities as well as new studio facilities in Jacksonville in much the same way that [[WESH]], a station nominally licensed to [[Daytona Beach]], was primarily based near [[Orlando, Florida|Orlando]]. The news blindsided Jacksonville's existing ABC affiliation, [[WJKS-TV]] (channel 17).<ref name="FTU960217">{{Cite news|title=ABC leaving TV-17 for Georgia station|page=A-1|date=February 17, 1996|first=Charlie|last=Patton|work=[[The Florida Times-Union]]}}</ref>

WBSG-TV's existing signal did not reach Jacksonville, so Allbritton filed to build a new tower site near [[Kingsland, Georgia|Kingsland]].<ref>{{Cite news|page=D-3|title=Brunswick station officially becomes ABC affiliate Jan. 1|first=Charlie|last=Patton|work=The Florida Times-Union|date=February 22, 1996}}</ref> WJKS attempted to block this move by making its own application for a tower in Kingsland, though it retracted this request; the FCC rejected WBSG's Kingsland proposal, leading Allbritton to instead increase the height and power of the existing WBSG-TV facility, though this did little to expand coverage to the south.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bizjournals.com/jacksonville/stories/1996/09/16/story7.html|work=Jacksonville Business Journal|date=September 16, 1996|first=Susanna P.|last=Barton|title=WBSG TV scouting city for studio, tower|access-date=September 5, 2022|archive-date=September 6, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220906080016/https://www.bizjournals.com/jacksonville/stories/1996/09/16/story7.html|url-status=live}}</ref> By August 1996, when the FCC approved the upgraded Hickox facility, the affiliation switch had been put off until at least February, and WJKS had given up its fight to remain with ABC.<ref>{{cite news|first=Bob|last=Phelps|work=[[The Florida Times-Union]]|date=August 7, 1996|title=TV-17 gives up in ABC fight|page=B-1}}</ref> The outright acquisition was converted to a [[local marketing agreement]] in August 1996.{{r|fcc-lmaallbritton}}

A date of April 1, 1997, was eventually fixed for WBSG-TV to assume the ABC affiliation in Jacksonville. However, those plans changed in January 1997. With little warning, WJKS started extensive preemptions of ABC programs as part of its transition to become Jacksonville's affiliate of The WB. Of 22 prime time hours offered by ABC, WJKS refused to [[Glossary of broadcasting terms#clearance|clear]] {{frac|12|1|2}} hours as well as any new programs introduced by ABC. This included all of ABC's Sunday and Thursday night programming; the station had already preempted ''[[Dangerous Minds (TV series)|Dangerous Minds]]'' on Monday nights and the Saturday night movie. The schedule change was so abrupt that it came after ''[[The Florida Times-Union]]'' published its weekly television listings; viewers were told to consult the paper's daily program grids instead.<ref name="FTU970121">{{Cite news|date=January 21, 1997|work=[[The Florida Times-Union]]|first=Charlie|last=Patton|pages=A-1, [https://www.genealogybank.com/newspaper-clippings/angry-callers-tv-17-learn-stations-dropping-abc-shows/kmdxjadjroyvvvzyviglinevovnzhtke_ip-10-166-46-184_1737313543835 A-7]|url=https://www.genealogybank.com/newspaper-clippings/tv-17-dropping-many-abc-shows-prior-switch/ztprwrnkajchyroqbeefvhntrcrnmnxm_ip-10-166-46-185_1737313423111|via=GenealogyBank|title=TV-17 dropping many ABC shows prior to switch}}</ref> Channel 17 continued to broadcast the network's five most popular shows, as well as ABC's network news and [[soap opera]]s.

To make up for WBSG's coverage shortfall in the market, Allbritton reached a deal to activate a languishing construction permit licensed to [[Orange Park, Florida]]—WYDP (channel 25)—under a [[local marketing agreement]].<ref name=fcc-lmaallbritton>{{cite web|title=Response to Public Notice|url=https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/document/176070/1|website=Electronic Comment Filing System|publisher=[[Federal Communications Commission]]|format=PDF|date=June 27, 1997|access-date=May 20, 2011|archive-date=September 6, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220906080041/https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs|url-status=live}}</ref> The compressed timetable forced Allbritton to build an interim facility to provide network coverage to Jacksonville, particularly the southern and western portions of the market.{{r|FTU970124}} On February 9, 1997, channel 25 came to air as [[WJXX]], and WBSG-TV and WJXX together began airing ABC programming.<ref>{{cite news|date=February 9, 1997|page=A-1|title=ABC programs to air on new station tonight|work=[[The Florida Times-Union]]|first=Charlie|last=Patton}}</ref> Allbritton later bought WJXX, not WBSG-TV, outright.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-BC/BC-1997/BC-1997-04-14.pdf|title=Changing Hands|pages=47–48|work=[[Broadcasting & Cable]]|date=April 14, 1997|via=World Radio History|access-date=September 5, 2022|archive-date=November 8, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211108151802/https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-BC/BC-1997/BC-1997-04-14.pdf|url-status=live|id={{ProQuest|1016965481}}}}</ref> Allbritton's heavy investment in the combined operation suffered from substantial technical issues.

===Pax/Ion ownership===
On November 15, 1999, the FCC legalized television station [[Duopoly (broadcasting)|duopolies]]—the common ownership of two stations in one market. The next day, November 16, the [[Gannett Company]], owner of Jacksonville NBC affiliate [[WTLV]], announced it would purchase WJXX from Allbritton. The deal was initiated after Allbritton approached Gannett about a possible sale.<ref name="FTU991117">{{cite news|title=Gannett buying second Jacksonville station: New rules allow to purchase [sic]|page=A-1|first=Mark|last=Basch|date=November 17, 1999|work=[[The Florida Times-Union]]}}</ref> The new duopoly rules barred cross-ownership of two of the top four television stations in the same market, a restriction that typically prevented [[Big Three (American television)|Big Four]] network affiliates from coming under common ownership. However, WJXX's fifth-place finish in total-day ratings, somewhat lower than most ABC affiliates, allowed the deal to go forward.{{r|FTU991117}} The FCC approved the purchase on March 16, 2000, and Gannett took control the next morning.

[[Paxson Communications Corporation]], the owner of the Pax network, purchased WBSG-TV from Allbritton in September 2000. Until that time, the only source of Pax programming in Jacksonville had been a low-power station, WPXJ-LP, in downtown Jacksonville, which Paxson had purchased in 1997<ref name="ftu-saletopaxson">{{cite news|url=http://jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/120497/2b1paxso.html|title=Network expects Jacksonville outlet|last=Basch|first=Mark|date=December 4, 1997|work=The Florida Times-Union|access-date=April 18, 2010}}</ref> and began broadcasting in 1998.<ref name="ftu-wpxjbegin">{{cite news|url=http://jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/052398/bus_1c7paxso.html|title=Paxson's TV-41 hits the airwaves|last=Basch|first=Mark|date=May 23, 1998|work=The Florida Times-Union|access-date=April 18, 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Paxson extends reach, purchases Brunswick, Ga.-based TV-21|date=September 29, 2000|page=D-2|first=Mark|last=Basch|work=[[The Florida Times-Union]]}}</ref> In April 2001, Paxson and [[WJXT]] (channel 4) entered into a joint sales agreement by which WJXT sold channel 21's airtime and offered news rebroadcasts on the station.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Stations enter sales agreement: TV-4 newscasts to be rebroadcast on TV-21|date=April 11, 2001|first=Mark|last=Basch|work=The Florida Times-Union|page=F-1}}</ref> The station changed its call sign to WPXC-TV on July 17, 2001.<ref name="fcc-wbsgtvtowpxctv">{{cite web|url=http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/call_hist.pl?Facility_id=71236&Callsign=WPXC-TV|title=Call Sign History (WPXC-TV)|work=Consolidated Database System|publisher=Federal Communications Commission|access-date=April 18, 2010}}</ref>
