WLXI, UHF digital channel 43, is a TCT owned-and-operated television station serving Winston-Salem, High Point and its city of license Greensboro, North Carolina, United States. The station is owned by Tri-State Christian Television. WLXI maintains studios and office facilities located on Patterson Street in Greensboro, and its transmitter is located near Randleman Lake in Randleman.
The station first signed on the air on March 5, 1984, originally broadcasting on UHF channel 61. It operated as a general entertainment independent station running cartoons, movies, drama series, westerns, music videos and classic sitcoms. Gradually it increased the amount of music videos on its schedule and by the fall of 1985, the station broadcast music videos for the entire broadcast day.
In early 1986, WLXI was sold to the Trinity Broadcasting Network and converted into an owned-and-operated station of the network, replacing secular entertainment programs with religious programming from TBN. TBN often purchased over-the-air stations in order to achieve must-carry status on cable providers, even though TBN stations air very limited local programming. In 1991, the station was sold to Tri-State Christian Television. In April 2007, TCT pulled TBN programming from its stations in favor of programming supplied by the company.
