Profile CDBS |
WMGM-TV, virtual channel 40 (UHF digital channel 36), is an independent television station serving Atlantic City, New Jersey, United States that is licensed to Wildwood. The station is owned by LocusPoint Networks. WMGM-TV's offices are located on New Road (Route 9) and its studios behind the station's offices on West Patcong Avenue in Linwood, New Jersey and its transmitter is located along Avalon Boulevard in the Swainton section of Middle Township, east of the Garden State Parkway off Exit 13.
The station is officially considered part of the Philadelphia market, but primarily serves Southeast New Jersey. WMGM-TV was previously an affiliate of NBC, and was the only major network affiliate located directly in the state. As such, the station's coverage area overlapped with the network's owned-and-operated station in Philadelphia, WCAU (channel 10), as well as Philadelphia's previous NBC affiliate, then-Westinghouse owned (now CBS owned-and-operated) KYW-TV.
