WXMS-LP (channel 27) is a JTN affiliate in Jackson, Mississippi. The station began broadcasting in December, 1999 as an affiliate of both the WB and UPN networks. The WB was WXMS's primary affiliation while UPN was its secondary affiliation. On October 7, 2001, WXMS became a primary UPN affiliate after ceding its WB affiliation to sister station WDBD, which had defected from the Fox network.
On January 1, 2006, WXMS lost its UPN affiliation to WRBJ and became an independent station. WXMS remains on the air as an independent station while its ownership prepares to change the affiliation of the other two stations it owns: WDBD to Fox and WUFX to My Network TV. WXMS was expected to go dark sometime in 2006 or 2007, with its programming to be carried by WBMS. Instead, in early 2007 it was bought by Taylor Media Stations Group as a sister station to WWJX.
