History

Originally licensed to serve DeWitt, New York, the station held the call sign WIXT-CA from 2005 to 2013, before changing to WIXT-CD. The WIXT call sign was used by the ABC affiliate in Syracuse from 1978 to 2005 (it is now WSYR-TV).

In October 2020, WIXT-CD assumed the MeTV affiliation from Nexstar's WSYR-TV (channel 9), which dropped the network in favor of co-owned Antenna TV. In January 2021, the call sign was changed to WMJQ-CD.
