History

On Jan. 1, 1956, WILK-TV 34 in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. , and WARM-TV 16 in Scranton merged into WNEP-TV 16. WNEP-TV, channel 16 is the ABC -affiliated Television station for northeastern and north central Pennsylvania, licensed to Scranton. That left channel 34 available for use in the region. A few years later, a channel 56 was allocated to a new station in the Binghamton market[2]. Its owners got the allocation for channel 34 moved to Binghamton and signed on in November 1962, as WBJA. Coincidentally, the Scranton-Wilkes-Barre-area station now known as WOLF-TV signed on in 1982 using channel 56.

The station has been an ABC affiliate for its entire existence.

WBJA was sold in the late 1970s and the call letters were changed to WMGC, with the station adopting the slogan "Magic 34. " It dropped the "Magic 34" branding by the mid to late 1980s, but kept the call letters until the Ackerley Group bought the station in 1997. The Ackerley Group was an American media company that owned several television stations (mainly in New York State California as well as one in Fairbanks) that was This was where the connection to WIXT came in, as the new calls were based on the group's Syracuse station's calls. Both became Clear Channel stations when that company bought Ackerley in 2001. Clear Channel Communications is a media conglomerate company based in the United States.

Ackerley nearly lost its investment shortly after buying the Binghamton station. On May 31, 1998, a tornado ripped through the station's Ingraham Hill studio and blew down its tower. Cross-town rival WBNG-TV had live reports that night literally from the WIVT studio. WBNG-TV is the CBS television affiliate in Binghamton New York. WIVT had a feed restored to cable providers within days but was off the air for several months.

On April 20, 2007, Clear Channel entered into an agreement to sell its entire television stations group to Newport Television, a broadcasting group established by Providence Equity Partners.
