Its studio facilities are located on Festival Park Avenue, near EverBank Field in Downtown Jacksonville's Stadium District and its transmitter is located on Hogan Road in the Killarney Shores neighborhood. On cable, the station is available on Comcast Xfinity channel 8 (cable channel 7 is occupied by a leased access channel) and in high definition on digital channel 440.
The station first signed on the air on September 10, 1958. WJCT's schedule includes programming from PBS and other programming services, including the BBC and American Public Television. WJCT also produces and broadcasts local news, public affairs programs and documentaries.
On April 6, 2009, WJCT's analog signal on channel 7 left the air for good.[1][2]

WJCT More! (7.4)
WJCT's fourth television channel features two major blocks of programming. The first programming block is The Florida Channel.
