WXXV-TV (channel 25) is a television station licensed to Gulfport, Mississippi, United States, serving the Mississippi Gulf Coast as an affiliate of Fox, MyNetworkTV, NBC and The CW Plus. The station is owned by Morris Multimedia, and maintains studios on US 49 in Lyman (with a Gulfport mailing address); its transmitter is located on Wire Road East in unincorporated Stone County, northeast of McHenry.
Channel 25 began broadcasting in February 1987 as the second local station on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. It affiliated with Fox two months after signing on the air. After an early history that was financially turbulent, including a bankruptcy filing in order to stave off a public auction, the station stabilized under owners Prime Cities Broadcasting in the 1990s. Morris acquired WXXV in 1997 and debuted its first local newscast, which ran from 1999 to 2001 before being shelved for economic reasons. In the digital era, WXXV has used digital subchannels to add NBC and The CW to its lineup. As part of the addition of NBC, in 2013, the station returned to producing local newscasts and has expanded to provide full-day coverage on the Fox and NBC channels.
