History

WFXZ's construction permit was originally granted on November 30, 1989 as W29BA channel 29, which would be licensed to nearby Lawrence. [cite web |url=http://svartifoss2.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/app_det.pl?Application_id=125688 |title=Application Details (WFXZ-CA) |accessdate=2006-11-06 |work=CDBS Public Access |publisher=Federal Communications Commission |language=English ] However, by the time finally it took to the air with a home shopping service early in 2000, it had moved to channel 24 in Boston and adopted the W24CM call sign.

A few months later, channel 24 changed its call letters to WVXN-LP. In 2001, the station became a class A operation and dropped home shopping in favor of MTV2 programming.
