WBUY-TV (channel 40) is a religious television station licensed to Holly Springs, Mississippi, United States, serving the Memphis, Tennessee, area as an owned-and-operated station of the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN). The station's transmitter is located in the Brunswick section of unincorporated northeast Shelby County.
The station formerly operated from a studio located on Cazassa Road in the southeast section of Memphis. That facility was one of several closed by TBN in 2019 following the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)'s repeal of the "Main Studio Rule", which required full-service television stations like WBUY-TV to maintain facilities in or near their communities of license.[3]
