WJHG-TV is the NBC affiliate for the Panama City, Florida market, broadcasting on digital channel 7 (which was its original analog spot). It is also the default NBC affiliate for the Dothan, Alabama market, 90 miles to the north (although Montgomery's NBC affiliate WSFA/channel 12 also comes in over Comcast cable in Dothan as well as northwest areas of the city over-the-air).

The station opened as WJDM and originally had independent status before landing primary affiliation with NBC and secondary affiliation with CBS, ABC and DuMont. They would eventually lose DuMont, which folded in 1955, then in 1960, they would drop CBS after Dothan's WTVY went on as a CBS affiliate. (WTVY is Panama City's default CBS station.) Channel 7 changed their call to WJHG, signifying its founder, James Harrison Gray.

In 1973, WJHG made ABC its primary affiliation after channel 13 signed on as WDTB, affiliating with NBC. (WDTB would change calls to WMBB.) In 1982, WJHG and WMBB swapped networks.

In the 90s, there was an issue with WJHG's signal reaching into part of the Tallahassee market along with sister Gray station WALB/channel 10 in Albany, Georgia (NBC). The issue has since been resolved. In 2003, WJHG started up its digital signal, on channel 8. It moved to digital 7 in early 2009, prior to the original transition deadline of February 17.

Due to being a separate market station from Dothan, WJHG and WTVY (both owned by Gray) will usually air the same shows during the day at either the same time or different times.
