WJLP channel 3 (virtual channel 33.1) is a MeTV-affiliated television station serving the New York metropolitan area and is licensed to Middletown, New Jersey. The station is owned and operated by PMCM TV, LLC. WJLP broadcasts from studios and offices located in Freehold Township, New Jersey, and its 7,000-watt transmitter is atop the Condé Nast Building at 4 Times Square in Manhattan.
Founded in 1998 by Harris Broadcasting the station went on the air two and a half years later. The station, originally located in Ely, Nevada, signed on July 9, 2001 as KBJN, a satellite of KVBC, the NBC affiliate in Las Vegas. It was originally owned by Harris Broadcasting, who soon sold it to KVBC owner Valley Broadcasting Company. The call letters were changed to KVNV on November 15, 2005.
On July 1, 2008, Valley Broadcasting filed an application with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to sell KVNV to PMCM TV, LLC (which owns six Jersey Shore radio stations in Monmouth and Ocean County as Press Communications, LLC). The sale was approved on September 17, 2008 and was consummated on November 12, 2008; soon afterward, the station was relaunched as Intelliweather 3, carrying looping weather conditions and a news ticker. KVNV affiliated with My Family TV in October 2009. During 2012, the station began to expand its local programming, including a local weekend public affairs program and a locally produced children's program (to comply with the FCC's E/I regulations); KVNV also began to simulcast the noon and 6 p.m. newscasts of former sister station KRNV-DT in Reno, and added the statewide political show Nevada's Eye on Washington.
