KJNE-LD is a low-powered television station that is licensed to and located in Jonesboro, Arkansas. It is broadcasting as a satellite and translator of Fox/CBS affiliate KJNB-LD. The station will broadcast a low-power signal on UHF channel 42. The station is currently owned and operated by Waypoint Media LLC.
The station was previously K54ER channel 54 and later, K42GX; during both instances, the station served as an owned-and-operated repeater of the Trinity Broadcasting Network, with all programming retransmitted from a satellite feed. K27FC, a defunct low-power station, also served as a TBN translator. In 2010, TBN closed down many of its low-powered repeaters, due to ongoing economic problems. Many of these repeaters would be donated by TBN to the Minority Media and Television Council (MMTC), an organization designed to preserve equal opportunity and civil rights in the media.
The MMTC would later sell K42GX, along with three other translators in three other translators in three other markets to New Moon Communications. They were WZMC-LP in Jackson, Tennessee, WDON-LP in Dothan, Alabama, and KUMK-LP in Ottumwa, Iowa. New Moon had the intent to convert them to affiliates of the NBC Television Network. After the transaction, on June 14, 2011, K42GX changed the station’s callsigns to KJNE-LD. The intent of KJNE-LD was to bring a local NBC affiliate to the small Jonesboro market. NBC was available locally on cable via either WMC-TV in Memphis, Tennessee or KARK-TV Little Rock, Arkansas.
