WBXJ-CD is a low-power television station in Jacksonville, Florida, United States, broadcasting locally on channel 43 as an affiliate of Biz TV. It is owned by L4 Media Group, and broadcasts on UHF channel 43.

History

The station signed on the air in 1984 as W10AX, an affiliate of The Box music video network until that network was acquired by Viacom in 2001. The station changed their callsign to WBXJ-CA in 1995. After Viacom acquired The Box in 2001, WBXJ became an over-the-air broadcaster of MTV2. It broadcast that network’s programming until 2015, when it switched to Biz TV.

The station shut down its analog signal in 2015 as part of the Digital TV transition for low-power stations. Upon becoming digital-exclusive, the station’s calls were changed to the current WBXJ-CD.
