Public license information

WMJQ-CD (channel 40) is a low-power, Class A television station in Syracuse, New York, United States, affiliated with MeTV. The station is owned by Renard Communications, one of the numerous holding companies owned or co-owned by Craig Fox. WMJQ-CD's transmitter is located on the WOLF radio tower on West Kirkpatrick Street northwest of downtown Syracuse.

History[edit]

Originally licensed to serve DeWitt, New York, the station held the call sign WIXT-CA from 2005 to 2013, before changing to WIXT-CD. The WIXT call sign was used by the ABC affiliate in Syracuse from 1978 to 2005 (it is now WSYR-TV).

In October 2020, WIXT-CD assumed the MeTV affiliation from Nexstar's WSYR-TV (channel 9), which dropped the network in favor of co-owned Antenna TV. In January 2021, the call sign was changed to WMJQ-CD.
