WMBC-TV

WMBC-TV (channel 63) is a television station licensed to Newton, New Jersey, United States, serving the New York metropolitan area as an affiliate of Merit Street Media.

The station is owned by the Mountain Broadcasting Corporation, and maintains studios on Clinton Road in West Caldwell, New Jersey; it transmits from atop One World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan.

Mountain Broadcasting was founded in 1985 by a group of Korean Americans, led by the Reverend Sun Young Joo of Wayne, New Jersey.

The group secured a construction permit from the FCC to build channel 63 in 1987,[2] and the station began operations on April 26, 1993, with a Christian religious format, running mostly programs from FamilyNet.

WMBC also dropped FamilyNet and Main Street TV programming and began to air more infomercials and religious shows directly from ministries.
