NRJ TV RL has closed on its acquisition of WGCB Harrisburg-Lancaster for $9 million. Red Lion Broadcasting sold the station, which airs Me-TV entertainment programming in DMA No. 43.

The station, whose call letters originally stood for God, Christ and the Bible, pulled in an estimated $2 million in 2011, according to BIA/Kelsey. It was formerly owned by the John Norris estate.
