WNWT-LD and WJLP share studios in Freehold Township, New Jersey, and transmitter facilities at 4 Times Square in midtown Manhattan.

Despite WNWT-LD legally holding a low-power license, it transmits using WJLP's full-power spectrum through a channel sharing agreement.

On August 17, 2007, Renard Communications Corp. (which owned almost all of New York State's The Box affiliates) announced that it would sell WBQM-LP, along with, at that time, sister station WMBQ-CA to Equity Media Holdings for $8 million.

In February 2012, Renard reached another deal to sell WBQM-LD, this time to Buenavision TV Network NY, LLC (WMBQ was sold separately several months earlier).

On October 11, 2021, PMCM TV announced a pending sale of WNWT-LD and WJLP to Weigel Broadcasting of Chicago for $62.5 million, a time where the station served as the de facto flagship affiliate of The Weather Channel's Local Now.
