WBII-CD (channel 20) is a low-power, Class A religious television station in Holly Springs, Mississippi, United States, affiliated with the Sonlife Broadcasting Network. Its transmitter is located on Court Street in Ashland, Mississippi.
History[edit]
The station signed on March 4, 1994, as an affiliate of Network One. It was also briefly affiliated with UPN at one point. When Network One shut down and ceased operations in 1998, the station then became an affiliate of Pursuit Channel. In the fall of 2011, WBII dropped the Pursuit Channel and picked up Retro TV, after WLMT (channel 30) in Memphis, Tennessee, dropped that affiliation from its second subchannel that same year in favor of MeTV. Additionally, WBII added two subchannels affiliated with Frost Great Outdoors on CD2, and PBJ on CD3. All three of these networks were owned by Luken Communications. In January 2016, WBII made drastic changes to its channel lineup, dropping the Luken networks. The channel now has the Sonlife Broadcasting Network (a religious network owned by Jimmy Swaggart) on its main subchannel and Tuff TV on its second subchannel. (Tuff TV was previously available from 2009 to 2011 on the station's second subchannel before being replaced by Frost Great Outdoors.) GOD TV was added to 20.3, and WBII added a fourth subchannel carrying Heartland.
