Under a channel sharing arrangement, WFXZ-CD shares transmitter facilities with co-owned PBS member station WGBH-TV (channel 2) on Cabot Street in Needham .

History [ edit ]
The station's construction permit was originally granted on November 30, 1989, as W29BA, operating on channel 29, which would be licensed to nearby Lawrence .[3] home shopping service in early 2000, it had moved to channel 24, was licensed to Boston and adopted the W24CM call sign .[4]
A few months later, channel 24 changed its call letters to WVXN-LP. In 2001, the station was upgraded to Class A status as WVXN-CA and dropped home shopping programming in favor of affiliating with MTV2 .[5] Azteca América network.[6]
