WJKP-LD (channel 39) is a low-power television station licensed to Corning, New York, United States, serving the Elmira area. It is programmed primarily as an independent station, but maintains a secondary affiliation with MyNetworkTV. WJKP-LD is owned by Coastal Television Broadcasting Company LLC alongside Fox affiliate WYDC (channel 48). The two stations share studios on East Market Street in Downtown Corning; WJKP-LD's transmitter is located on Higman Hill.
In addition to its own low-power digital signal, WJKP-LD also receives full-market over-the-air coverage on WYDC's second digital subchannel. This airs on channel 48.2 from the same Higman Hill transmitter.
Coastal acquired WYDC and WJKP-LD from Waypoint Media on January 4, 2022, as part of a larger transaction that saw nine stations be sold to Coastal for $36.9 million.
