WJEB-TV (channel 59) is a religious television station in Jacksonville, Florida, United States, serving as the market's local outlet for the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN). It is owned and operated by TBN's Community Educational Television subsidiary, which manages stations in Florida and Texas on channels allocated for non-commercial educational broadcasting. WJEB-TV's studios are located on Emerson Expressway/US 1 in southeastern Jacksonville, and its transmitter is located on Newton Road in the city's Brackridge neighborhood.
Background
The station first signed on the air on May 29, 1991, and was built and signed on by the Trinity Broadcasting Network, under the licensee Jacksonville Educators Broadcasting, Inc., operated by the TBN subsidiary Community Educational Television.
As with other CET stations, WJEB carries almost all of the TBN network schedule (though with program promos and public service announcements replacing commercial advertising aired on its national feed and commercially-licensed stations[citation needed]). In addition to programming from TBN, the station airs educational programming to prepare local students for the General Educational Development (GED) test to fulfill the requirements under their license service.
