You want your business on WJTV, and you may have already found a site offering you a cheap guest post on wjtv.com with a dofollow link. Read this page before you pay anyone anything. It gives you the complete, honest answer: what a sponsored article on WJTV actually is, what changed at the station in 2026 and what did not, how to test any offer made to you, how publishing works step by step, what decides the price, and the one email that starts the legitimate route.
The short answer: yes, a Mississippi business can get featured on WJTV
Yes. A Mississippi business can be published on WJTV through a paid article placement on wjtv.com, arranged through us. Let us set the framing honestly in the first section, because the words matter here. What exists through us is a sponsored article: written about your business, clearly labelled as paid content, reviewed by the outlet before it goes live, and permanent once published.
If by "guest post" you mean an unlabelled post slipped into a news site so it looks like editorial coverage, that is not a product we sell, and the section below on testing offers explains why you should be suspicious of anyone who does. The legitimate route is not a secret and does not need disguises. You do not need a PR firm or a media contact. You need a business worth writing about and one email. If you want to compare how outlets handle paid placements first, our guide to which news outlets accept sponsored content lays out the landscape honestly.

What you actually get: your business on Mississippi's first television station's site
Picture the finished thing, because that is what you are buying. A live article page on wjtv.com carries your business name in the headline and your story in the text: what you do, why you are good at it, and where customers can find you. It sits on the same site, under the same 12 News name, that people across Jackson and the Pine Belt check every day.
Then the article starts working for you. You send the link to the customer deciding between you and a competitor. You put it in the proposal that needs one more proof point. You add WJTV to the "As Featured On" row of your own website, and every visitor understands in one second that Mississippi's original television station published a story about your business. Unlike a listing on a reseller's catalogue, the page itself is the asset: permanent, findable, and carrying your own link.
Why WJTV carries weight in Mississippi
WJTV was the first television station in Mississippi. It began broadcasting on 20 January 1953, in time to present the inauguration of Dwight D. Eisenhower, and it was founded by Jackson's two daily newspapers, The Clarion-Ledger and the Jackson Daily News. A station built by the state's own press, at the very start of Mississippi television, carries a founding weight your article borrows when it runs on wjtv.com.
The brand reaches beyond the capital. Its Hattiesburg semi-satellite, WHLT, airs WJTV newscasts into the Pine Belt. The studios sit on TV Road in southwest Jackson, with the transmitter in Raymond. Today the station brands itself 12 News, Focused on You, and since August 2026 it is the home of Mississippi's CW, a change the next sections explain properly, because there is real confusion about it in current searches.
The numbers support the benefit, stated plainly. In our outlet directory, WJTV carries a Domain Authority of 71 and roughly 374.7K monthly organic visits. Those figures matter as proof, but the real reason WJTV works is simpler: for a business that sells to Mississippi, this is the state's original television name, and its website is where Mississippi reads.
What a sponsored article on wjtv.com actually looks like
Let us be precise about the product, because precision is where fake offers fall apart.
The article is a full page on wjtv.com itself. It is labelled as paid content, clearly. That labelling is not a weakness in the product; it is what makes the placement legitimate and durable. The article is reviewed by the outlet before it is published, so what goes live has passed WJTV's own check. Once live, the placement is permanent.
The link answer is stated here with care, and it is never softened anywhere on this page: the article links to your website, and links in a paid placement carry sponsored attributes, as paid content rules require. A plain editorial dofollow link is not part of a legitimate paid placement on a news site, whoever is selling it. For local texture, look at the site itself: wjtv.com carries lifestyle feature write-ups of local businesses, a physical therapy clinic, a painting party company and a nutrition shop among them. Your article is a full page in that environment, written about your business.
WJTV is a CW station now. What changed, and what did not
If you have searched for this station recently, you have met the confusion head on, so let us settle it. For seven decades, WJTV carried CBS. On 1 August 2026, that affiliation ended, and WJTV became a CW affiliate, the home of Mississippi's CW, rebranding its news around 12 News, Focused on You. Any page that still calls WJTV a CBS station in the present tense is working from stale information.
Here is what did not change. The local newsroom is the same newsroom. The audience is the same Mississippi audience served since 1953. The website is the same site, carrying the same 12 News brand your customers read this morning. What changed is the network programming in the evening. What you are buying is untouched by it.
The anonymous reseller listing, and how to test any WJTV offer
An anonymous reseller listing currently ranks for the exact search a buyer makes about publishing on wjtv.com. It offers a guest post at a fixed price, with a dofollow link and permanence promised in the same breath. It names no contact, explains no review process, describes no labelling, and offers no protection if nothing goes live. We will not quote its price or name it, because the point is not that seller. The point is the shape of the offer, and you can test any WJTV offer, including ours, with four questions.
The label test. A legitimate paid placement is labelled as paid content and reviewed by the outlet. A listing that promises an unlabelled, editorial looking post is describing something no honest route sells.
The link test. Paid content rules mean sponsored attributes on links. A promised plain dofollow link on a news site is not a feature. It is a warning sign that what is being sold is not a real placement.
The protection test. A bare listing takes your money and offers nothing if the post never appears. Our arrangement states a full refund in writing, before payment, if your article does not go live. Ask any seller for the same sentence.
The process test. A real placement has a fit check, a named contact, a review step and a live link you are sent at the end. A checkout button and a promise is not a process.
An offer that passes all four tests is worth your money. An offer that fails them is worth nothing, whatever its price.
Who a WJTV article is right for, and who should skip it
This placement fits businesses whose customers are in Mississippi: the Jackson metro first, and the Pine Belt towns the station reaches through Hattiesburg. It is especially strong for businesses that sell on trust: services people research before they buy, companies pitching larger local clients, anyone whose customer Googles them before signing.
It does not fit a business with no Mississippi customers. And it does not fit a business shopping only for the cheapest link it can find anywhere on the internet. That reader is the reseller listing's natural customer, and this page is honestly not written for them, because a legitimate, labelled, reviewed placement is a different product from a cheap link insertion. If a bigger regional or national stage is the real need, the Hill guide and the PIX11 guide explain those routes, and the choice should be made on fit, not on a listing's price tag.
How publishing on WJTV works, step by step
Step 1: Email us. Write to uzairasad@pressfeature.org with your business name, your website, and what the article should be about. That email is the whole application. There is no form, no account to create, no retainer to sign.
Step 2: Fit confirmation and your quote. We confirm that your business and your topic fit the outlet, and you receive your individual quote for WJTV. What decides that quote is covered in the final section below.
Step 3: The article. You can supply the article yourself, or we arrange the writing for you. Either way, the draft goes to the outlet for review before anything is published.
Step 4: Review and go live. WJTV reviews the article. Once it is approved, it is published on wjtv.com, fast once the review is complete. Your exact timeline is confirmed in your quote before you pay anything.
Step 5: Your live link. You receive the live link to your article. It is yours to send to customers, add to your website, and use in every proposal from that day on.
Your protection is the same one the test above demands of everyone: payment is in full in advance, and if the article does not go live, you receive a full refund, in writing. There is no version of this where you pay and end up with nothing.
What decides the price, the honest limits, and how to start
There is no public price for a WJTV article, and the reseller's figure is never used on this page as an anchor or a contrast. The real price is set per placement because the deciding factors differ for every business: the scope of the article, whether you supply it or we arrange the writing, the placement specifics, and timing. Every placement is therefore quoted individually, by email, with no obligation to proceed. Our guide to how much a sponsored article costs explains the factor model in full.
The limits, stated plainly. The article is paid content and is labelled as such; it is not editorial coverage and it is not the 12 News newsroom endorsing your business. No one can guarantee you search rankings, a traffic figure, or sales from a placement like this. What the article does, permanently, is put a credible, findable page about your business on the site of Mississippi's first television station.
If WJTV is the outlet your customers read, the next step is a single email. Write to uzairasad@pressfeature.org with your business name, your website, and the story the article should tell. You will get a fit confirmation and your individual quote back. Our services page covers the wider picture of what we do, but the email is how a WJTV article actually begins.

How much does a WJTV sponsored article cost?
There is no public price, because each placement is quoted individually. A cheap fixed figure on an anonymous listing is not a station price and is never quoted here. Your quote comes by email, based on scope, production, placement specifics and timing, with no obligation.
Can I buy a guest post on wjtv.com?
What exists through us is a sponsored article: written, labelled, reviewed and permanent. If by guest post you mean an unlabelled post slipped into a news site, that is not a product we sell.
Does WJTV publish sponsored articles?
Yes, in the form of clearly labelled paid content on wjtv.com, reviewed by the outlet before publishing.
How do Jackson businesses get featured on 12 News?
Earned features are the newsroom's choice. The bookable written route is the article placement arranged through us.
Who do I contact at WJTV about a paid feature?
For the article, you contact us. We handle the placement, and you deal with one email address throughout.
How long does a sponsored article stay on wjtv.com?
The placement is permanent, and permanence is part of the arrangement, backed by a full refund in writing if the article does not go live.
Is a guest post on wjtv.com dofollow and permanent?
Permanent, yes. Dofollow, no. Links in a legitimate paid placement carry sponsored attributes under paid content rules, and any seller promising a plain dofollow link on a news site is describing something an honest placement is not.
