WPXW (Pax66) is the Washington, DC area's i (formerly PAX) network affiliate, broadcasting on channel 66 (digital channel 43). The station is owned by Paxson Communications. Pax66 is the Washington, DC broadcast outlet for the Baltimore Orioles.
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 from the time that Paxson Communications bought the station until the PAX Network began on August 31, 1998. The station currently has the rights to broadcasts of Baltimore Orioles games in the Washington, DC area that are produced by MASN.
