Profile CDBS |
WSTQ-LP is the low-powered, CW-affiliated television station for Central Upstate New York. Licensed to Syracuse, it broadcasts an analog signal on UHF channel 14 from a transmitter in the city's Lakefront section. Owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group, the station is sister to NBC affiliate WSTM-TV and CBS affiliate WTVH. The latter, however, is actually owned by the Granite Broadcasting Corporation but operated by Sinclair through joint sales and shared services agreements. All three outlets share studios together on James Street/NY 290 in the Near Northeast section of Syracuse.
Due to its low-powered status, this signal is only attainable in the immediate Syracuse area (northern and eastern boundary is roughly NY 481/Interstate 481; southwestern reach is NY 173). Therefore, in order to expand the station's broadcasting radius, it is simulcasted in 720p high definition on WSTM-TV's second digital subchannel. WSTQ-LP is branded as CW 6 in reference to its universal channel position on area cable systems (not over-the-air channel 6 which is held in the market by WVOA-LP).
