WXXV-DT2 is the NBC-affiliated television station for the Mississippi Gulf Coast. It is a second digital subchannel of Fox affiliate WXXV-TV that is owned by Morris Multimedia. Over-the-air, the station airs a 720p high definition digital signal on UHF channel 48.2 (or virtual channel 25.2 via PSIP) from a transmitter on Wire Road East, in unincorporated Stone County, northeast of McHenry.
WXXV-DT2 can also be seen on Cable ONE channel 18 and in full high definition on digital channel 465. Its parent outlet has studios on U.S. 49 in Lyman (with a Gulfport postal address). Syndicated programming on this station includes Judge Judy, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Meredith Vieira Show, and Celebrity Name Game among others.
WXXV-DT2 first signed-on in September 2006 to be the market's MyNetworkTV affiliate. On June 25, 2012, it was announced WXXV would become the area's first-ever locally based NBC affiliate. The MyNetworkTV affiliation was moved to cable-exclusive status so that WXXV-DT2 could become the NBC outlet. Prior to the station adding NBC, both WDSU-TV in New Orleans (for Gulfport, Long Beach and Pass Christian) and WDAM-TV in Laurel, Mississippi (for Biloxi, D'Iberville, Jackson County and Stone County) served as the Gulf Coast's longtime de facto affiliates on cable.
