WRPX-TV

WRPX-TV is one of two Ion Television affiliates for the Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina television market, licensed to nearby Rocky Mount. The station is owned by ion Media Networks (the former Paxson Communications), and is a sister station to WFPX.

In Fall 2017, it will be announced that WRPX will become the new Fox affiliate for the Triangle, replacing WRAZ upon the acquisition of its owner Capitol Broadcasting Company to NBCUniversal. It is also announced that Hubbard will buy the station from ion.

Analog-to-digital conversion

WRPX-TV discontinued regular programming on its analog signal, over UHF channel 47, at noon on June 12, 2009, the official date in which full-power television stations in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 15. Through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers display the station's virtual channel as its former UHF analog channel 47. In recent years, WRPX-TV has been carried on cable in Oak City, which is within the Greenville media market.
