From Wikipedia;
Soon after taking over, PMCM sought permission to reallocate KJWY from Jackson to Wilmington, Delaware, as part of a legal loophole that allows any VHF station that moves to a state with no FCC-licensed commercial VHF stations to receive automatic permission to move. After of the digital television transition of 2009, Delaware and New Jersey no longer have VHF signals. (PMCM also looked to move KVNV to New Jersey under the same rule.)[5][6] The request was denied by the FCC in a December 18, 2009 letter.[7] The full Commission denied PMCM's application for review in a Memorandum Opinion and Order released on September 15, 2011;[8] however, this denial was reversed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit on December 14, 2012.[9] On March 8, 2013, the call letters were changed to KJWP.[2] KJWP applied for a construction permit to move to Wilmington (though the planned transmitter location is in the Roxborough neighborhood of Philadelphia, where the transmitters for most Philadelphia television stations are located) on May 28, 2013.[10] KJWP discontinued operation from Jackson on August 11, 2013 in anticipation of the move.[1]
