WVNY is the ABC-affiliated television station for Vermont's Champlain Valley and Upstate New York's North Country. Licensed to Burlington, Vermont, it broadcasts a high definition digital signal on VHF channel 13 (virtual channel 22.1 via PSIP) from a transmitter on Vermont's highest peak Mount Mansfield. The station can also be seen on Charter and Comcast channel 4 in SD, and in HD on Charter digital channel 704 (channel 889 on former Time Warner Cable systems) and Comcast digital channel 722.
Owned by Mission Broadcasting, WVNY is operated by Nexstar Media Group through a local marketing agreement (LMA). This makes it sister to Fox affiliate WFFF-TV and the two share studios on Mountain View Drive in Colchester, Vermont. Syndicated programming on this station includes The Office, The Dr. Oz Show, and The People's Court among others. WVNY was formerly seen on analog repeater W09BB channel 9 in Schroon Lake, New York. This station had a southeast of the town's Severance section and did not have an application to air a digital signal; its license has since been cancelled.
