WITL-TV

WINL-TV, virtual channel 17 (UHF digital channel 44), is the Ion Television owned-and-operated television station serving the Liberty City, Liberty broadcast area. The station is owned by Ion Media Networks subsidiary of the E.W. Scripps Company, which owns ABC affiliate WLIB (channel 8).
== History ==
WINL signed on the air on August 29th, 1988 as a charter affiliate for the music video channel Video Jukebox Network, eventually called The Box and it's original call letters were WQJX. Beginning in 1998, Bud Paxson, co-founder of the Home Shopping Network , started up a new network, Pax Television and WQJX was one of the charter affiliates for the new network. As a result, WQJX gave The Box affiliation to WWXJ , who at the time of the switch, was airing infomercials after losing PTEN a year earlier. Also as a result of the switch, WQXJ changed their call letters to WPXL, Pax Liberty). In 2002, WPXL entered an agreement with then-NBC affiliate, WEHK to rebroadcast newscasts on WPXL. This was due to Pax affiliates partnering up with the big three networks (mostly NBC affiliates) to rebroadcast tape delays of their affiliates' newscast in the same market that they're in. WPXL rebroadcasted the morning and late evening newscasts from WEHK. WPXL aired the 6 am hour of the morning newscast on a one hour delay at 7 am local time, while the 11 pm newscast aired on a half hour delay at 11:30 pm. In July 2005, Pax TV rebranded as i: Independent Television. As a result of these changes, the news partnership with WEHK had ended. However, WPXL retained the WPXL call sign. In 2007, the i branding was discontinued and replaced with Ion Television. WINL has since kept the branding going.
