  • WPXL-TV is the local Ion Television (formerly Pax TV and i) affiliate in New Orleans, Louisiana, owned by Ion Media Networks. It broadcasts on virtual channel 49. The station was formerly WCCL, an independent station. The station went silent from the spring of 1990 until May 25, 1994, where it was returned to the air by Flinn Broadcasting Corporation. Before Pax TV was born, the station carried Home Shopping Network programming. After Hurricane Katrina until the end of 2005, WPXL simulcasted NBC affiliate WDSU (channel 6), whose transmitter building in Chalmette, Louisiana was flooded out during the Hurricane Katrina disaster. The station also added the signals for The Worship Network, also local Tribune stations WGNO and WNOL to their digital multicasting channels for those in the New Orleans area that can receive digital television signals. On March 29, 2008, WPXL was finally able to launch qubo programming on channel 49-2 and Ion Life programming on 49-3, which each launched a year and a half after Katrina, as WGNO and WNOL had moved their digital transmissions to WNOL's UHF channel 15. The Worship Network was removed from all Ion-owned stations, including WPXL, on February 1, 2010. In mid-August 2007, Ion announced that it would be purchasing WPXL and WPXX in Memphis outright from Flinn Broadcasting for $18 million. http://broadcastingcable. com/article/CA6470612. html The sale was completed on January 2, 2008. http://www. ionmedia. tv/press/press. cfm?id=73
