Profile CDBS |
WNYS-TV is the MyNetworkTV-affiliated television station for Central Upstate New York that is licensed to Syracuse. It broadcasts a 720p high definition digital signal on UHF channel 44 (or virtual channel 43.1 via PSIP) from a transmitter near Maple Grove, a hamlet of Otisco. Owned by Syracuse Broadcasting, WNYS-TV is operated through a local marketing agreement (LMA) by Northwest Broadcasting as a sister station to Fox affiliate WSYT. The two stations share studios together on James Street/NY 290 in Syracuse's Near Northeast section.
Since the nearby Watertown market currently lacks a MyNetworkTV affiliate of its own, this station could be considered as the area's de facto affiliate. However, the northern broadcasting radius of its over-the-air signal reaches south of Watertown proper. It is also currently not available on Charter systems in that area.
