From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WMCN-TV is an independent television station licensed in Atlantic City, New Jersey serving the Philadelphia DMA, broadcasting regionally on digital channel 44 and carried in 2 million homes on Comcast Cable as well as Verizon FIOS video . WMCN-TV specializes in custom produced regional long format info-tainment programming and eschews the standard TV station business model of commercial spot sales. WMCN also carries several hours per week of regional faith-based telecasts as well as children's and community interest programming. Founded May 29, 1981, the station is owned by Lenfest Broadcasting, LLC. As WWAC-TV, the station formerly broadcast on analog channel 53.[1]
The move to digital channel 44 was intended to provide better signal coverage of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area from a new transmitter location which would qualify for must-carry status on cable television in that community. [2]
WMCN is available on cable-tv in Atlantic, Burlington, Cape May, Camden, Cumberland, Gloucester, Salem, Mercer and Ocean Counties in NJ.
