WJKT (fictional)

WJKT, virtual channel 16 (UHF digital channel 21), is a Fox-affiliated television station licensed to Jackson, Tennessee, United States. The station is owned by Nexstar Media Group. WJKT's advertising sales office is located on Oil Well Road in Jackson, and its transmitter is located in Alamo, Tennessee. Newscasts have originated from the facilities of sister station and CBS affiliate WTAJ-TV in Altoona, Pennsylvania, along with weathercasts originating from the Memphis studios of sister station WREG-TV, since January 2017.

Memphis Fox affiliate WHBQ-TV's over-the-air signal reaches areas just short of Jackson proper. However, that station is also carried on Jackson Energy Authority Broadband on cable channel 13.

Newscasts
WJKT airs all national breaking news coverage from Fox News when conditions warrant as well as the network's weekly public affairs show. However, unlike most other Fox affiliates, it does not operate a local news department of its own. Although most news coverage is presented focused on the greater Memphis area, WATN will cover the Jackson area during severe weather events such as tornado warnings. Despite being a Fox outlet, WJKT used to feature national headlines coverage as provided through ABC News One since it simulcasted an ABC-affiliated produced local news show from WLMT until the sale to Tegna Inc.. From 2013 until 2016, WJKT used to simulcast WLMT's 45-minute newscast produced by WATN, a 1-hour morning newscast produced by WATN, as well as the fifteen-minute sports highlight program.

On October 5, 2016, the Jackson Sun reported that WJKT would end its WATN/WLMT simulcasts on December 31, and is beginning to hire staff for a new in-house news department. The newscast began on January 1, 2017, using local reporting staff, with anchors originating from a secondary set at the facilities of sister station and CBS affiliate WTAJ-TV in Altoona, Pennsylvania, and weathercasts originating from WATN (later WREG-TV)'s Memphis studios. The anchors for WJKT's 10 p.m. show also anchor the 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts for WHLT in Hattiesburg, Mississippi and WNTZ-TV in Alexandria, Louisiana.
