WBBJ-TV (channel 7) is the ABC television affiliate located in Jackson, Tennessee. WBBJ started broadcasting March 5, 1955 as WDXI-TV, with a CBS affiliation until 1968, when it joined ABC. It uses the branding "West Tennessee's News Channel." Its transmitter is located in Jackson.
WBBJ, like many of the stations that broadcast on Channel 7, features the Circle 7 Logo. (It had done so in the past, then used WJLA's stylized Circle 7 logo for several years, but returned to the full logo in 2003.) Located at 346 Muse Street in Jackson, the station is owned by Bahakel Communications, Ltd.
Since 1999, WBBJ has used Frank Gari's Image News music package for its news broadcasts. John Young serves as the station's voice-over talent.
