WTJP-TV (channel 60) is a television station licensed to Gadsden, Alabama, United States, serving the Birmingham area as an owned-and-operated station of the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN). The station's transmitter is located on Blount Mountain near Springville, Alabama.

The station formerly operated from a studio located on Rosedale Avenue in Gadsden. 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 WTJP-TV to maintain facilities in or near their communities of license.^[2]
