While at one point WJXX was slated to be an independent, Allbritton had signed an LMA in 1996 with Brunswick, Georgia-based WBSG-TV ( channel 21 ); it also signed a long-term groupwide affiliation deal with ABC, and announced that WBSG would replace WJKS ( channel 17 ) as Jacksonville's ABC affiliate.

WJKS began phasing out ABC programming in January 1997 to become the market's WB affiliate under the callsign WJWB ; this prompted Allbritton / WPR to move WJXX's launch to February 9 ( two months ahead of its planned April 1, 1997 sign-on ), and resulted in Brunswick, Georgia-licensed WBSG ( which WJKS had replaced as the area's WB affiliate ) to switch its affiliation to ABC on that same date.

However, WBSG struggled financially, and on August 2, 1996, the station's owner signed a local marketing agreement with Allbritton Communications, effective September 1.

The news department shut down in December 1997, when WJXX launched its news department and Allbritton transferred most of WBSG's news staff to WJXX ( during the stations ' first months as an ABC affiliate, the two stations split their simulcast at 6 p. m. and 11 p. m., with WBSG continuing its local newscasts while WJXX showed a M * A * S * H rerun ).

Allbritton would not assist Katharine Graham, the owner of the Post, in any way, refusing to print his rival's papers on the Stars presses since that likely would have caused the Star to be struck by the press operators as well.
