WPXW is the Washington, DC area's ION Television (formerly Pax TV and i) network affiliate, licensed to nearby Manassas, Virginia. The station broadcasts on UHF channel 66, with a digital signal on channel 43. It is owned and operated by ION Media Networks (the former Paxson Communications). WPXW's schedule is filled with infomercials, paid religious shows, sitcoms, TV movies and kids shows on Friday afternoons.
History
Channel 66 signed on as WTKK, an independent religious station, in 1978. The call letters stood for Witnessing The King of Kings. In 1982 they added some classic sitcoms and very old movies to the lineup but by 1986 they reverted to mostly religious. In 1994, the station was purchased by ValueVision, a shopping network, and on June 6, 1994, the call letters were changed to WVVI. Paxson Communications purchased the station in 1997 and on January 13, 1998, the call letters were changed to the current WPXW. The station was an all-infomercial channel ("inTV") from the time that Paxson Communications bought the station until the PAX Network began on August 31, 1998. The station had the rights to the 2005 season of Baltimore Orioles games in the Washington, DC area that were produced by MASN. It was formerly known as PAX66, before the PAX network switched its name to i.
