WPXU-TV is one of two Ion Television affiliates for the Greenville/Jacksonville/New Bern/Washington, North Carolina television market. It is licensed to Jacksonville. The station is owned by ION Media Networks, and is a satellite station to Greenville's WEPX-TV to serve the southern part of the market.
