WTVJ is the NBC-owned-and-operated television station for South Florida. Licensed to Miami, the station broadcasts an analog signal on VHF channel 6 from a transmitter located in Redland. WTVJ broadcasts a digital signal on UHF channel 31 at 1000 KW effective radiated power from a transmitter at this location in Miramar. Many stations use this tower besides WTVJ. The tower has a triangular candelabra structure at the 305 m (1000 foot) top with antennas for WTVJ-DT (31), WBFS-DT (32), and WFOR-TV (4). Somewhat farther down are antennas for WFOR-DT (22), WSFL-TV (39), WLTV-DT (24), and WSFL-DT (19).

WTVJ is owned by NBC Universal, the station is sister to South Florida's Telemundo-owned-and-operated station WSCV. The two stations share studios that are located on Peacock Plaza in Miramar. WTVJ is known on-air as "NBC 6".

WTVJ's audio signal can also be heard on 87.7 MHz on the FM dial in most parts of South Florida. This is because the audio signal of channel 6 is located at 87.75 MHz. This frequency assignment applies to all channel 6 television stations in countries using the NTSC-M standard.

The present guyed mast tower is 317.3 meters tall and was built in 1990.
