Tougaloo College Acquires TV Station.........last August
Tougaloo College announced that it had agreed to acquire television station WUFX-TV, Channel 35, in Jackson, Mississippi. WUFX is the MyNetworkTV affiliate for the Jackson market and can be seen on Cable One channel 9 and Comcast channel 11.

#“This is a remarkable opportunity for the College to further its academic mission, as well as its economic interests through the purchase and operation of WUFX,” said Dr. Beverly W. Hogan, president of Tougaloo College. “Most importantly, a commercial television station will offer our students, particularly those from our Mass Communication department, some real world experience of seeing how a television station works, aiding them in knowledge acquisition and application. It will, without question, bring other benefits to the College, as well.”


WLOO............From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WLOO is the MyNetworkTV-affiliated television station for Jackson, Mississippi that is licensed to Vicksburg. It broadcasts a standard definition digital signal on UHF channel 41 (or virtual channel 35.1 via PSIP) from a transmitter on Thigpen Road in Raymond. The station can also be seen on Cable ONE channel 9 and Comcast channel 11. Owned by Tougaloo College, WLOO is operated through a joint sales agreement (JSA) with American Spirit Media-owned Fox affiliate WDBD and Me-TV stations WXMS-LP/WBMS-CA. In turn, all four television outlets are controlled by Raycom Media (owner of NBC affiliate WLBT) through a shared services agreement. WLOO shares studios with WDBD, WXMS/WBMS, and WLBT on South Jefferson Street in Downtown Jackson. Syndicated programming on this outlet includes The Office, 30 Rock, Family Feud, and America's Court with Judge Ross among others.
