WXID-LP is a defunct low-power television station on channel 49 (with a negative frequency offset) in north-northwest metro Atlanta. Formerly licensed to serve Marietta, Georgia, the station's TV transmitter was atop Sweat Mountain, north-northwest of Atlanta. Since being permitted in 1988, it was W55BM until March 2008, becoming W49DE after it was forced to change TV channels due to the DTV transition in the United States (which resulted in channel 55 being auctioned to MediaFLO). The station was previously owned by the Trinity Broadcasting Network, which sold it in 2010 to Word of God Fellowship, which changed the station to its current broadcast callsign in mid October 2010.
Originally airing The Box, it later became a translator station for TBN-owned WHSG-TV. The station later affiliated with the TBN-owned JCTV network, making it one of the few TBN-owned analog stations to carry programming other than TBN. This programming was also seen on one of WHSG's digital subchannels: virtual channel 63.3, via RF channel 44.
