WJBF (channel 6) is a television station in Augusta, Georgia, United States, affiliated with ABC and owned by Nexstar Media Group.

WJBF-TV was a primary NBC affiliate, but picked up programs from CBS, ABC and DuMont on a secondary basis.

However, fellow NBC affiliate WIS-TV in Columbia provided at least grade B coverage to the South Carolina side of the market.

Additionally, in 1966 Fuqua bought two full-time ABC affiliates, WTVW in Evansville, Indiana, and KTHI-TV (now KVLY-TV) in Fargo, North Dakota, and apparently wanted to get his other stations—WJBF and KTVE in El Dorado, Arkansas—in line with the new acquisitions.

When WATU (channel 26, later WAGT) began operations in December 1968, conventional wisdom suggested that it would become a full NBC affiliate.

However, since many Augusta viewers still didn't have UHF-capable sets, NBC allowed WJBF and WRDW-TV to continue to cherry-pick most of its stronger programs.

His television stations were among the first assets to be sold, with WJBF and WTVM going to Missoula, Montana–based Western Broadcasting Company.,[7] and WTVC going to the A. H. Belo Corporation of Dallas, Texas.

[14] Media General had initially intended to move WAGT into an expanded wing of the WJBF building in downtown Augusta.

[17] Gray accused Media General of "[refusing] to agree to a smooth transition of personnel [from WAGT]" and not allowing them to move along to the station's new owner, as they fell under the employment of WJBF due to the shared services agreement.

The program has been a showcase for regionally and nationally known African-American gospel performers, and has also featured appearances from political and social figures.

Augusta native James Brown, Shirley Caesar, Al Green, the Mighty Clouds of Joy, Dorothy Norwood and Jesse Jackson are among those who have appeared on the program.

The station also produces an urban music video program, Power Hitz, which airs on Sunday evenings.

After the weekly series ended, WJBF continued to produce and air a yearly Christmas special until the group's retirement in 2009.

Appropriately for being the first television station in the area, WJBF has led the ratings for most of its history, with rival WRDW-TV usually the runner-up.
