WTJP-TV (channel 60) is a television station licensed to Gadsden, Alabama, United States, serving the Birmingham area as an owned-and-operated station of the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN). The station's transmitter is located on Blount Mountain near Springville, Alabama.
The station formerly operated from a studio located on Rosedale Avenue in Gadsden. That facility was one of several closed by TBN in 2019 following the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)'s repeal of the "Main Studio Rule", which required full-service television stations like WTJP-TV to maintain facilities in or near their communities of license.[2]
History
The station first signed on the air on July 22, 1986, and was built and signed on by All American TV (not to be confused with an unrelated television syndication company of a similar name), a minority-owned firm with close ties to the Trinity Broadcasting Network; all of All American's stations were TBN affiliates. TBN acquired the All American group outright, including WTJP, in 2000.[3]
