[edit] History
WJPW-CA 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-LP.
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 19th, 2006, after WVTX-CA closed its studios in Wheeling, West Virginia, the station once again began to repeat WBGN-LP.
