Until 2021, as the Ion owned-and-operated station for West Palm Beach, where Ion's headquarters are located, WPXP was considered one of the network's flagship stations, though it has never originated any content for the national network, either as Pax TV, i: Independent Television, or Ion.
The first application for the station was made in 1984, and the WHBI callsign was assigned in June 1987 until the end of 1997. In January 1998, it finally went on-air after more than a decade of modified and expired construction permits, and took its present call letters upon joining the fledgling Pax TV network.[2] All applications prior to 2003 were by Hispanic Broadcasting, Inc., before becoming Paxson West Palm Beach License, Inc. (a holding company, which is common in broadcasting), though there was no application listed to assign the station to another licensee.
WPXP-TV discontinued regular programming on its analog signal, over UHF channel 67, on June 12, 2009, the official date on which full-power television stations in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate (sister station WPXM opted to do so on the original transition date of February 17). The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 36,[4] using virtual channel 67.
