context_page_description: KJNB-LD, virtual channel 39, is a low-powered dual Fox/CBS-affiliated television station licensed to Jonesboro, Arkansas, United States. Owned by Waypoint Media, LLC, KJNB-LD maintains a small office in the Regions Bank Building in Jonesboro, and its transmitter is located on Highway 91/Southern Avenue in unincorporated Lawrence County, southeast of Walnut Ridge.
  KJNB-LD operates translator KJNE-LD, virtual channel 42, serving Jonesboro proper. This station's transmitter is located on County Road 730 north of Jonesboro.
context_section_description: The station first signed on the air on June 1, 2015 as the market's second commercial television station, after ABC/NBC affiliate KAIT (channel 8), which signed on the air in July 1963 as an independent station. Until this point, Fox programming was available in northeast Arkansas over-the-air and on cable through WHBQ-TV (channel 13) in Memphis, Tennessee (prior to former owner Fox Television Stations' purchase and subsequent affiliation switch of WHBQ in 1995, area cable systems previously piped in that station's predecessor affiliates: WMKW-TV (channel 30, now CW affiliate WLMT) from 1987 to 1990, and WPTY-TV (channel 24, now ABC affiliate WATN-TV) from 1990 until it lost the Fox affiliation to WHBQ). Despite being licensed as a low-powered television station, Waypoint Media secured the affiliation agreement with Fox by promising to provide coverage of at least 93% of the market through its over-the-air signal and through distribution on local cable and satellite providers.
  On August 1, 2015, KJNB-LD signed on a second digital subchannel, carrying programming from CBS (as the Jonesboro area's first locally based CBS affiliate). Previously, the default CBS affiliates were KTHV in Little Rock and WREG-TV in Memphis over the air and on cable, as well as KFVS-TV in Cape Girardeau, Missouri via DirecTV. The station also announced plans to sign on KJNE-LP as a satellite station to expand the station's coverage.
  On September 1, 2015, KTHV/Little Rock was replaced with KJNB-LD2 on the Jonesboro area Suddenlink cable system, but WREG/Memphis remains on the lineup.
