'''WNWT-LD''', [[virtual channel]] [[Channel 37|37]] ([[Very high frequency|VHF]] [[digital terrestrial television|digital]] channel 3), is a [[Local Now]]-[[network affiliate|affiliated]] [[television station]] [[city of license|licensed]] to [[New York City|New York, New York]], United States. Owned by [[Chicago]]-based [[Weigel Broadcasting]], it is a [[sister station]] to Weigel's [[duopoly (broadcasting)|duopoly]] of [[Middletown Township, New Jersey]]-licensed [[MeTV]] [[owned-and-operated station]] [[WJLP]] (channel 33) and [[Bridgeport, Connecticut]]-licensed [[MeTV Plus]] owned-and-operated station [[WZME]] (channel 43). WNWT-LD and WJLP share studios in [[Freehold Township, New Jersey]], and transmitter facilities at [[4 Times Square]] in [[midtown Manhattan]]. Despite WNWT-LD legally holding a [[low-power broadcasting#Television|low-power]] license, it transmits using WJLP's full-power spectrum. This ensures complete reception across the New York City [[media market|television market]].
 
The station has used various virtual channels since its conversion to digital television in 2012, due to the lack of allocations in the New York and [[Philadelphia]] markets, starting on channel 3 (conflicting with [[KYW-TV]]), then 51 (averting a conflict with [[NJTVNJ PBS]] station WNJN on channel 50) from late 2013 until mid-2019, then 6 and 18 (conflicting with [[WPVI-TV]], then [[WUVN]] in [[Hartford, Connecticut]]), before finally settling on channel 37 on August 1, 2019.
