It has for quite a long time took risks that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) postponed in allowing the permit to any potential telecasters in central Mississippi.

It had placed only two VHF frequencies. Those are channels 3 and 12. They are occupied by WAPT and WJTV separately. UHF channels originally didn’t cover large sections of the region very well.
