History

WJPW-CD began operation as a station licensed to Steubenville, Ohio, on channel 57 with the call sign W57BH. The station was founded and owned by Bruno-Goodworth Network, Inc. as a repeater for its independent Pittsburgh class A station WBGN-LP.

A move from channel 57 to channel 18 was required when NBC affiliate WTOV-TV (channel 9) was granted digital facilities on channel 57. Shortly after moving to channel 18, the WJPW-CA call-sign was granted and the station began repeating WVTX-CA (channel 28). On September 19, 2006, after WVTX-CA closed its studios in Wheeling, the station once again began to repeat WBGN-LP.

On January 7, 2013, the station changed to the WJPW-CD call sign. On August 26, 2013, WJPW-CD was sold along with Bruno-Goodworth Network, Inc.'s ten other class A stations for $7.25 million to OTA Broadcasting, LLC (a company controlled by Michael Dell's MSD Capital). [1]

On April 13, 2017, FCC announced that it had accepted OTA Broadcasting's bids totalling $73.9 million to sell the spectrum rights of five of OTA Broadcasting's stations in the Pittsburgh market in the spectrum incentive auction. [2] Although WJPW-CD was not among them, OTA Broadcasting ceased WJPW-CD's transmissions along with them on October 25, 2017 [3] and surrendered its license to the FCC for cancellation on October 26, 2017.
