WJHP-TV was a television station broadcasting on ultra high frequency (UHF) channel 36 in Jacksonville, Florida, United States. Owned by the Jacksonville Journal Company alongside WJHP (1320 AM) and the Jacksonville Journal newspaper, it was the city's second television station and broadcast from 1953 to 1957. The station struggled economically because it was not on a very high frequency (VHF) channel, which meant reduced advertiser acceptance and potential audience. It left the air shortly after WFGA-TV began on VHF channel 12, taking with it network programming and viability. WJHP-TV operated from studios on the Philips Highway.
