0.14 sec. |
WTEN is the ABC-affiliated television station for the Capital District of New York State and Western New England. Licensed to Albany, the station broadcasts an analog signal on VHF channel 10 and a digital signal on UHF channel 26. WTEN's transmitter is located at the Helderberg Mountains tower farm in New Scotland. Owned by Young Broadcasting, the station has studios located on Northern Blvd. in Albany. WTEN is known on-air as "News 10". WTEN operates a full-time satellite WCDC-TV. Licensed to Adams (MA), the station broadcasts an analog signal on UHF channel 19 and a digital signal on UHF channel 36. WTEN's transmitter is located on the highest point in Massachusetts, Mount Greylock. There is no on-air reference to WCDC but the station is mentioned in WTEN's legal ID, EEO public file report, and on the News 10 Storm Tracker Weather Channel. WCDC's signal reliably covers the western half of Massachusetts, Southern Vermont, Northern Connecticut, and Southwestern New Hampshire. WCDC, along with MyNetworkTV affiliate WNYA, can be considered rimshot signals into the Springfield - Holyoke (MA) market. Despite WCDC being located in Berkshire County (MA), Time Warner cable systems in the county carry WTEN's signal instead of WCDC¹. The station is a full-time simulcast of WTEN. Digital ProgrammingWTEN's digital signal is multiplexed:
HistoryWTENWTEN began broadcasting on March 26, 1954 known as WROW-TV. The station was affiliated with CBS and broadcasted on channel 41. It was owned by Hudson Valley Communications Company along with WROW-AM. In 1957, it moved to channel 10 and had its call letters changed to WCDA-TV. The calls were changed again to the current WTEN around 1960. Hudson Valley Communications eventually became Capital Cities Communications with WTEN becoming its flagship station.In 1968, Capital Cities sold the original three stations of the group (WTEN, WPRO-TV in Providence (RI) and WJRT-TV in Flint (MI)) to Poole Broadcasting. Nine years later, Poole sold WTEN, WJRT, and WPRO (now WPRI-TV) to Knight-Ridder. The new owner signed an affiliation deal with ABC which resulted in WTEN swapping affiliations with WAST (now WNYT) to become the market's ABC affiliate. Young Broadcasting bought WTEN and its sister station WKRN-TV in Nashville (TN) from Knight-Ridder upon the latter's exit from broadcasting. WTEN signed on its digital signal on UHF channel 26 in 2004 and began offering high-definition service. WTEN's HDTV signal can also be seen on Time Warner digital cable channel 1810. On October 1, 2007, station owner Young Broadcasting launched Equity Broadcasting's Retro Television Network on WTEN's DT3 digital subchannel. This launch is part of a test of the network with sister stations WBAY in Green Bay (WI) and KRON in San Francisco (CA). The network features classic sitcoms and dramas. It remains to be seen if this channel will be offered on Time Warner digital cable systems in the Capital District and / or Berkshire County (MA). WCDCWCDC began broadcasting on March 26, 1954 (the same date as parent station WROW-TV) as WMGT-TV (Mount Greylock Television) on channel 74. The tower location on Mount Greylock helped WCDC serve not only as a major boost to WROW but also as the market's secondary affiliate of DuMont from its launch until the network's demise in 1956.In 1957, WMGT moved to channel 19 and in 1960 the call letters were changed to the current WCDC-TV. The WCDC call letters were derived from WTEN's former calls WCDA. The WMGT-TV call sign is now used on the NBC affiliate in Macon (GA). WCDC's digital signal on UHF channel 36 signed on nearly 18 months before WTEN's did. However, it not upgrade to high-definition programming until WTEN-DT signed on. WCDC's digital signal is currently not offered on Time Warner digital cable systems in Berkshire County (MA). WCDBPrior to WCDA's move to channel 10, a second satellite was operated by WCDA located on channel 29 in the Montgomery County town of Hagaman. The station, with the call letters of WCDB, signed off the air in 1959 after the WCDA move rendered WCDB superfluous (even though it did provide some primary CBS coverage to Utica). The WCDB calls would return to the air in 1978 and serve the student-run radio station at the University at Albany.Newscasts) WTEN and WCDC's News 10 Storm Tracker Weather Channel. In 2005, WTEN launched a 24-hour local weather channel on its DT2 digital subchannel. It is known as the News 10 Storm Tracker Weather Channel and can also be see in the Capital District on Time Warner digital cable channel 554. The channel is not seen on WCDC's digital signal but it is offered on Time Warner digital cable systems in Berkshire County (MA). The weather channel can also be seen via live streaming video on WTEN's website. WTEN's weather radar is known as "News 10 Storm Tracker HD Doppler". Newscast Titles
