WJZY-TV is the FOX affiliate for the Charlotte, North Carolina television market, broadcasting on digital UHF channel 25.3 (displayed on tuners as 46.1). It is licensed to the suburb of Belmont. Its sister station is MyNetworkTV affiliate WMYT/channel 55, which broadcasts on WJZY's subcarrier tier (RF 25.4) through a channel sharing arrangement.
WJZY began in 1987 on analog channel 46 as a standard independent. It had a backlog of syndicated programming that was proxied by Rock Hill S C station WFVT/channel 55 (today WMYT). It became a UPN affiliate in 1995 when that network started up and carried college basketball games from CBS as regular CBS affiliate WBTV/channel 3 passed them up. In 2006, UPN and the WB (then on WFVT) shut down and merged to become the CW. WJZY was their Charlotte affiliate. In January 2013, Fox Television Stations bought WJZY and WMYT and moved its Fox affiliation to WJZY from WCCB/channel 18 (now a CW affiliate). Fox sold WJZY and WMYT to Nexstar as part of a package for Nexstar FOX affiliates WITI Milwaukee and KCPQ Seattle, along with Seattle MyNetworkTV affiliate KZJO and $350 million, on March 2, 2020.
WJZY moved their digital transmissions to channel 25 (retaining 46 as their display) on September 6, 2019 as the digital repacking calls for all channels above 36 to be reserved for wireless internet use.
