WDBD (channel 40) is a television station in Jackson, Mississippi, United States, affiliated with the Fox network. It is owned by American Spirit Media, which maintains a shared services agreement (SSA) with Gray Television, owner of NBC affiliate WLBT (channel 3), for the provision of certain services; it is also sister to Vicksburg-licensed MyNetworkTV outlet WLOO (channel 35). Although technically owned by Tougaloo College, WLOO is actually controlled by American Spirit through a separate joint sales agreement (JSA), with Gray providing limited engineering support. The stations share studios on South Jefferson Street in downtown Jackson, while WDBD's transmitter is located on Thigpen Road southeast of Raymond, Mississippi.
