Say a "For Sale" sign on the Weathervision Building (Old WJXN Studio & Historic Tower sight) on I-55 @ Fortification, is St.Pe's facility moving ?
 
I didn't realize WLEZ and the Weather operation were related, and even though I saw that building a million times as I drove down I-55, I thought it was just an office or the studios of whatever AM station's tower was there.
 
Buried in the middle of that building is a little Jim Walter house that was once WJXN AM. I believe the WJXN letters are still on the tower. They've added so much to that building that it in completly unrecognizable. WJXN went silent several years after Edward St. Pe bought the station and he added the weather network.

What a great Job Bert Case did on that feature story on WLBT.
I'm still wondering if there will be a new WLEZ tower sight ???

Yes - FCC indicates WLEZ will move their xmtr site to Jackson State University.

It's been perhaps 30 years since I've been back to Jackson. WJXN gave me my start in broadcasting in 1965. The tower is still there? (I was once told that WJXN started out in the Deposit Guaranty Bank building before move to the "Radio Ranch" on Foley Street. Anyone know anything about that?)
