WNPX is a television station licensed to Cookeville, Tennessee which broadcasts on Channel 28. It is owned and operated by ion Media Networks (the former Paxson Communications).
WNPX is located almost 70 miles (110 km) east of Nashville and its UHF signal reaches the western portion of the Nashville television market only with great difficulty, if at all. For this reason the station utilizes a translator on WNPX-LP channel 20 to reach the western portion of Nashville.
WNPX is affiliated with the i network (formerly PAX-TV). The callsign is derived from "Nashville PaX." The previous callsigns for the station are WMTT-TV as Channel 28 1st name to "We're Covered our Cumberlands" when its 1st sign on January 14, 1991 & in 1994-1995 WKZX, which was The WB affiliate for the Cookeville area. In 1998 WKZX became WNPX for PAX.
