WYCN-CD sold its frequency rights as part of the FCC's spectrum auction for $80.4 million. OTA Broadcasting entered into a channel sharing agreement with WGBX-TV (channel 44) for the station; NBC agreed to purchase the channel share agreement and the WYCN-CD license in October 2017. In December 2017, the station announced on its website that it would cease broadcasting on its current frequency on January 16, 2018 and begin broadcasting NBC Boston on a new frequency. The sale to NBC was completed on January 18, 2018; the station began channel sharing with WGBX the same day.
