WJHG-TV is an NBC-affiliated television station licensed to Panama City, Florida, United States. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 18 (or virtual channel 7 via ) from a transmitter on SR 20 in unincorporated Youngstown. Owned by Gray Television, the station is sister to low-powered CBS affiliate WECP-LD (channel 18) and the two outlets share studios on Front Beach Road/SR 30 in Panama City Beach.
WJHG was founded on December 1, 1953 as WJDM-TV as was owned by local businessman J. D. Manley. It became known by many people as "Wait Just a Darn Minute" (a play on its call letters) because it would frequently go off-the-air with technical problems.
