WRBJ is a full-powered CW affiliate in Jackson, Mississippi.

WRBJ is owned by St. Louis-based Roberts Broadcasting.

Its studio and sales office are located in Jackson, and its transmitter is located in northern Smith County, north of Raleigh, and licensed to Magee. Unlike other Jackson TV stations, WRBJ's signal may be capable of reaching Meridian and Hattiesburg.

WRBJ began broadcasting as a UPN affiliate via Time Warner Cable on January 5, 2006, and over-the-air broadcasting began on February 8. On March 21, 2006, it was announced that WRBJ will join the new CW network, and on September 18, WRBJ became a CW affiliate.

Ironically, the call letters WRBJ were assigned briefly to Hattiesburg's WDBT (now WFOR-AM),Mississippi's first radio station.
