What Is This LPTV Station In NYC?

H

HHH

Was over in SOHO and picked up the only analog TV station on my old Watchman. It was an LPTV. Channel 45? (might not be exact). It was running (of course) a religious network feed. Can anyone tell me what this station is and where they transmit from?
 
Probably WMBQ-CA channel 46. It's leased out to Cornerstone (WPCB in Pittsburgh) and comes from the Trump World Tower.

The signal is repeated on digital channel 3, WBQM-LD. Thus, there is no need to keep analog 46 on the air. I'm wondering when the plug will be pulled on the last analog station in NYC...

...Or are they going to ride it until the FCC announces a drop-dead date for analog LPTVers?
 
For all five people who can receive WBQM-LD, I'm sure it's great. I, too, wonder why WMBQ-LD hasn't been converted to digital, as a UHF signal would greatly outperform the VHF Cornerstone is on now. I know the current owner has had it up for sale for a while, maybe they don't want to put any more money into it.
