WFXZ-CA operates at a low-power, but is licensed as a class A station.
[edit] History
WFXZ's construction permit was originally granted on November 30, 1989 as W29BA channel 29, which would be licensed to nearby Lawrence.[1] 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.[2]. 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.[3] The current WFXZ-CA call sign was introduced in 2003.
In July 2006, the station became the Boston affiliate for the Azteca América network.[4]
