History
Signing on on December 7, 1981, and becoming an affiliate of the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) in 1990 (and its only full-power affiliate in Alaska), KJNP-TV became the fourth television station in the Fairbanks area after KUAC. Originally broadcasting 16 hours a day, the schedule expanded to 24 hours a day in 2003, following the installation of a new transmitter.
KJNP-TV and KJNP-AM-FM (which launched in 1967) were founded by Don and Gen Nelson.
On April 26, 2022, Evangelistic Alaska Missionary Fellowship agreed to donate KJNP-TV to Anchorage-based Christian Broadcasting, Inc.;[2] the transaction was completed on August 8, separating the TV station from KJNP radio.[3]
In addition to religious and some secular programs, KJNP-TV also broadcasts Closing Comments, one of the longest-running public affairs programs on local television.
