WRPX-TV, virtual channel 47 (UHF digital channel 32), is an Ion Television owned-and-operated station licensed to Rocky Mount, North Carolina, United States and serving the Triangle region (Raleigh–Durham–Chapel Hill–Fayetteville). The station is owned by West Palm Beach, Florida-based Ion Media Networks (the former Paxson Communications), as part of a duopoly with Archer Lodge-licensed Ion Plus owned-and-operated station WFPX-TV (channel 62). The two stations share a sales office on Gresham Lake Road in Raleigh and transmitting facilities northeast of Middlesex in unincorporated Nash County.

WRPX's signal was previously relayed on WFPX; WRPX served the northern half of the market, including Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill, while WFPX served the southern part, including Fayetteville and Southern Pines.

Analog-to-digital conversion

WRPX-TV discontinued regular programming on its analog signal, over UHF channel 47, at noon on June 12, 2009, the official date in which full-power television stations in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station's digital signal continued to broadcasts on its pre-transition UHF channel 15.[5] Through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers display the station's virtual channel as its former UHF analog channel 47.

Spectrum repack

WRPX-TV moved from channel 15 to channel 32 on September 11, 2019.

Out-of-market coverage

In recent years, WRPX-TV has been carried on cable in Oak City, which is within the Greenville media market.[6]
