WJTV is the CBS-affiliated television station for Jackson, Mississippi, United States. It was the first television station to broadcast in Mississippi. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on VHF channel 12 from a transmitter in Raymond. The station can also be seen on Comcast Xfinity channel 13, Cable ONE channel 8 and Vicksburg Video channel 12 with an HD feed on Comcast digital channel 433, Cable ONE digital channel 460 and Vicksburg Video digital channel 255. Owned by Nexstar Media Group, WJTV has studios on TV Road in Jackson. Syndicated programming on this outlet includes The Andy Griffith Show, Edgemont, The Dr. Oz Show, Dr. Phil, and The Rachael Ray Show among others.
WHLT in Hattiesburg operates as a semi-satellite of WJTV extending the CBS signal into the Pine Belt region of Mississippi. As such, it clears all network programming as provided by its parent (except for preempting CBS News Sunday Morning and airing Face the Nation in its entirety). WHLT airs some of the same syndicated shows as WJTV but also offers a separate lineup of non-network fare. In addition, the Hattiesburg station airs its own local commercials during all programming and legal identifications.
