WNYF-CD is a Class A television station that is licensed to Watertown, New York. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 35 from a transmitter west of Champion along NY 126 (a.k.a. State Street). WNYF-LP is a television station licensed to Massena. This broadcasts a low-powered analog signal on UHF channel 28 from a transmitter on SR 420 south of Massena Springs. Together, the two serve as the North Country's Fox affiliates. Owned by United Communications Corporation, they are sister stations to CBS affiliate WWNY-TV. All three share studios on Arcade Street in downtown Watertown. WNYF can also be found on Time Warner Cable channel 2 and in high definition on digital channel 878. Syndicated programming on the station includes: According to Jim , Two and a Half Men , Everybody Loves Raymond , and Scrubs .
History
Before becoming a separate entity, WNYF was a repeater for ABC affiliate WWTI with the call sign W28BF . During that time, WWTI and WWNY had secondary affiliations with Fox. While WWTI aired Fox Sports NFL games on Sundays, WWNY showed most of the network lineup. In 2001, United Communications Corporation and WWNY entered into an agreement with Smith Broadcasting and WWTI to make WNYF-LP a separate, full-time Fox affiliate. In 2003, full-time low-powered satellite station WNYF-LP was established in Massena to expand its signal reach. The existing station switched call signs to WNYF-CA . An agreement with Time Warner Cable in Fall 2001 placed the station on channel 2. After a year of joint operation of WNYF by Smith Broadcasting, United Communications Corporation took complete ownership of the station and made it a full sister to WWNY.
Until September 18, 2006 when UPN shut down and merged with The WB, WNYF also ran some programming from that network. On August 25, 2008, WNYF-CA received FCC approval to begin its own high definition digital broadcasts as WNYF-CD on UHF channel 35 after WWNY-DT returned to its former analog position on VHF channel 7 which happened on February 17, 2009. On September 14, 2009, WNYF-CD signed-on using WWNY-DT's existing UHF antenna structure. This is the first time that WNYF has been available in high definition over-the-air. WNYF-CA then signed off its analog transmitter. On June 30, 2009, United Communications applied to the FCC for a digital version of WNYF-LP. This will broadcast on UHF channel 18 (formerly used for WNPI-DT's analog signal) with the call sign WNYF-LD from a transmitter southeast of South Colton along NY 56.
Newscasts
On April 11, 2001, WWNY began producing a weeknight 10 o'clock newscast on WNYF. However, because the station was not carried on cable yet the news was only seen by only a handful of viewers that could receive the over-the-air signals of WNYF. After being added to cable, the 10 P.M. newscast debuted for the rest of the area on October 4. The station also simulcasts the 6 o'clock hour of WWNY's weekday morning news.
