The station finally took to the air in January or February 2014 on UHF channel 27. In May 2014, this station changed the call letters to the current WYJJ-LD. The transmitter was located on the south side of Jackson just off US 45. DTV America entered a strategic partnership with Forever Communications to operate WYJJ-LD.[5]
Before the station's launch, the Jackson market relied on the second subchannel of CW affiliate WLMT in Memphis for MyNetworkTV and a more close-to-complete complete MeTV schedule. MeTV is now available on WBBJ-DT4, a subchannel of ABC affiliate WBBJ-TV.

On May 5, 2015, the station's primary affiliation was changed to Antenna TV, with MyNetworkTV programming remaining in the prime time schedule.
On January 29, 2016, WYJJ added a fifth subchannel carrying Grit, which broadcast entertainment programming aimed towards men. In spite of the existence of WYJJ-LD5, The Grit feed from WMC-DT3 remains on JEA Cable. WMC-DT2's feed of Bounce TV also remains on cable in Jackson as well.[7]

On June 3, 2019, WYJJ's Antenna TV affiliation was dropped to become affiliated with the then-recently-launched Court TV network, with the MyNetworkTV affiliation meanwhile remaining intact. In September 2019, WYJJ ended its affiliation with MyNetworkTV to carry Court TV full-time. MyNetworkTV moved its affiliation in Jackson to a secondary affiliation alongside H&I on the third subchannel of WNBJ-LD.[10]
Programming
WYJJ airs Court TV network programming in all parts of the weekend and for 22 hours every weekday. The station carries MyNetworkTV programming on weeknights from 7 to 9 p.m., before returning to Court TV at 9 p.m. This practice is similar to those of WYJJ's sister stations, WCZU-LD in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and KPJO-LD in Joplin, Missouri. In September 2015, WYJJ-LD began broadcasting Atlantic Coast Conference football and men's basketball from the ad-hoc ACC Network, the syndicated programming service operated by Raycom Sports.[11] It was previously on WNBJ-LD during the 2014-15 season.
Doctor TV, a healthy lifestyle-oriented network, was broadcast on WYJJ's DT2 subchannel until 2015, when Bounce TV launched on that subchannel, displacing DrTV to DT3. In January 2017, DrTV was replaced by
