WJID-TV

WJID-DT, virtual channel 10 (UHF digital channel 30), is an independent television station serving the entire United States including Baltimore, Cleveland, Willoughby and surrounding areas. Licensed to Atlanta, the station is owned by MoBrosStudios and operates under the moniker "Clockwork Creeper." WJID maintains studio facilities located at the MoBrosStudios Broadcasting Complex, and its transmitter and satellite uplink is located in North Druid Hills.
==History==
WJID-TV was licensed in July 2000 by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to Jimmy Davis Productions. Jimmy Davis initially requested to assign WYTP as the station's call letters (standing for "YouTube Poop"); however, this was denied by the FCC. The station first signed on the air on September 15, 2001, under the WJID callsign. In any case, the call letters had not featured prominently in the station's on-air branding, as the station opted to use the on-air brand "Jimmy Davis". WJID relied on television advertisements and donations from viewers for financial support.
On November 1, 2004, Jimmy Davis Productions announced that it was selling WJID and the licence for a yet-to-be-launched and differently formatted creepypasta television station also in Atlanta, WCRP-TV, to youstinkAnt-Wetal, subject to FCC approval. The financial difficulties Jimmy Davis experienced with operating WJID and getting WCRP on the air, combined with the fact that it could not raise capital from outside investors because of its status as a production company for YouTube Poops, were the main reasons given for the sale. The deal was approved several months later, finally giving youstinkAnt-Wetal a broadcast television station in the Atlanta market, where it had lost bids to launch one in the past. At the same time, youstinkAnt-Wetal received approval to operate a rebroadcast transmitter in Cleveland on UHF channel 21, broadcasting at an effective radiated power of 720 watts. In 2006, the transmitter's power was increased to 17.2 kilowatts, with the tower height being decreased to compensate.
After WJID was bought by youstinkAnt-Wetal, the Jimmy Davis branding was dropped in favour of youstinkAnt-Wetal's Sky Blue Fox Television brand. This branding was used from 2005 to 2007.
After acquiring the station from Jimmy Davis, youstinkAnt-Wetal announced in late June 2005 that the station would join the youstinkAnt-Wetal-owned Sky Blue Fox Television network. The Sky Blue Fox brand had previously been associated only with general cartoon-formatted stations. The rebranding occurred in September of that year, making WJID the third station in the Sky Blue Fox television network.
