History
WNXT started broadcasting in 2000 by Monsoon Media. After missing out on being affiliated with both UPN and The WB, WNXT settled in being an independent station. WNXT airded games for the (then) New Jersey Nets, New Jersey Devils, New York Islanders, and the (then) NY/NJ Metrostars.

Prime Entertainment Group Purchase
In spite of airing sporting events for the teams, WNXT was in debt. In 2010, WNXT was in serious trouble and the word "Bankruptcy" was going around in the studio. Meanwhile, Prime Entertainment Group was planning to launch their own network, and they needed a strong core of stations to help get their network off the ground. After careful consideration, Prime bought WNXT from Monsoon Media in 2011. A year later, when the Prime Network was launched, WNXT became an O&O station and the flagship of Prime.
