WLNY
Encyclopedia
WLNY-TV, channel 55, is an independent television station licensed to Riverhead, New York, with studios in Melville, New York
and transmitter in Middle Island, New York
. WLNY's primary over-the-air signal serves most of Long Island
, comprising Nassau
and Suffolk
counties. WLNY further extends its coverage in the New York City metropolitan area and Connecticut
using low-power digital repeaters WLNY-CD (channel 45), in Mineola, New York
and WLIG-LD, channel 17, in Morristown, New Jersey
, and low-power analog repeater W27CD in Stamford, Connecticut
.
The station has been carried on either channel 10 or channel 55 on most local cable TV systems for years, and in 2007 changed their on-air branding to WLNY TV 10/55 (read as TV 10 and 55) to reflect that.
), which was merged with Newark, New Jersey
-based independent WWHT-TV (now WFUT-TV
) several years earlier. During its first year of operations, WLIG employed a number of gimmicks to attract viewers, such as a Watch and Win Sweepstakes in which viewers were shown a "code word" on-screen during a particular show and had to send in a postcard with that word for the chance to win a prize, and offering 100,000 free loop antennas to non-cable viewers who couldn't receive the station clearly. The efforts paid off, as WLIG gradually became a solid ratings player.
By June 1987, WLIG was estimated to reach 200,000 viewers, and was carried on eight of nine cable television systems on Long Island. The lone exception was Cablevision, the largest system in Long Island, which claimed that TV-55 added nothing to the service they already offered, and so, refused to carry it. A cable subscriber advocacy group, New Yorkers for Fair Cable, claimed that the real reason was that WLIG competed with services that Cablevision owned and offered, specifically News 12 Long Island
. In October 1987, BQ Cable Company (now part of Time Warner Cable
) began offering WLIG to subscribers in Brooklyn
and Queens
.
During its early years, WLIG relied heavily on old movies and reruns of classic television shows, and positioned itself as a station offering family-friendly entertainment consistent with the philosophy of its owner, who is a devout Roman Catholic. It featured a daily newscast at 10 PM, and other local programming, such as a political talk show called Focus on Long Island. Sports programming and some first-run syndicated
programming rounded out the broadcast day. By the late 1980s, WLIG had dropped its local news broadcasts, except for a 5-minute newscast that continued to air until a new full-fledged, hour-long 10 PM newscast debuted in 1993. The station also aired several half-hour feeds of CNN Headline News
until the mid-1990s, providing its only broadcast outlet for Long Island residents without cable. In the meantime, the station gradually began adding newer films and stronger syndicated programming to its lineup, eventually scoring a major victory in early 1991 when they landed Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy!
and The Oprah Winfrey Show
, which at that time were the top three syndicated programs on television.
and WPXN-TV
, appealed, but the courts upheld the FCC decision. In spite of these difficulties, WLNY still receives cable coverage from Northern New Jersey to Southern Connecticut, and on satellite television.
In 1997, WLNY was assigned UHF channel 57 for its digital television operations, making it one of 18 full-service television stations in the country to have neither analog nor digital assignments within the new core television station spectrum, channels 2 through 51. The station began broadcasting in digital in 2002, with a low-power signal under Special Temporary Authority, then made news in 2005 when it struck a deal with Qualcomm
to surrender its analog license and build full DTV facilities on channel 57, allowing Qualcomm to use the channel 55 frequency for its MediaFLO
service. At the time, approximately 92 percent of Long Island's population receives television service by cable or satellite, so the FCC approved the request, and on December 31, 2005, WLNY shut down its analog signal and became a digital-only station. The FCC has since changed the station's callsign to WLNY-DT. The FCC later announced it would remove the -DT suffix from call signs after the analog shutoff unless a station applied to keep it; the station elected to change its callsign to WLNY-TV, adding the -TV suffix the station did not use prior to 2006, and the change took effect on June 19, 2009.
WLNY-DT requested channel 47 as its final, in-core broadcast channel after the end of the 2009 DTV conversion
, but the FCC
initially ruled the election in conflict with another station -- WNJU
, a Spanish-language station licensed to Linden, New Jersey
which broadcast its analog signal on channel 47. Eventually the issues were worked through and WLNY gained FCC approval for its move to digital channel 47, which it began broadcasting from on June 13, 2009.
At some point since 1996, WLNY dropped its NY 55 branding in favor of the old TV-55, but on October 22, 2007, WLNY once again changed its branding, this time from TV-55 to TV 10/55 to reflect its most frequent cable and satellite assignments. The station also debuted a new set and graphics for their 11pm newscast, replacing the old set which dated back to the early 1990s.
WLNY can currently be viewed from as far north as Connecticut, and as far south as Delaware over its digital broadcast.
WLNY-TV also has two Mobile DTV feeds, one of of subchannel 55.1, labelled "WLNY MH1", and a blank feed of 55.2, labelled "WLNY MH2", broadcasting at 3.67 Mbit/s. This is the highest bitrate of any New York City television station mobile feed.

and The Ellen DeGeneres Show
, as WLNY airs these shows in the late afternoon and evening, compared to earlier broadcasts on the main New York City stations. Often, most of WLNY's movie airings are also carried by another local station within a day or so.
The station enjoys widespread coverage on cable in New York City as well as other parts of lower New York state, Connecticut
, and New Jersey. While many of those areas see a separate feed due to SyndEx
laws (similar to the old WOR EMI Service and WGN America), Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune are the only two programs preempted on the SyndEx feed. Subscribers in the New York City market who receive the station on DirecTV
and Dish Network
view the station's clean over-the-air feed.
In June 2009, WLNY completely revamped its weeknight primetime schedule, replacing the movie with all of its syndicated programming. These offerings now air for five consecutive hours from 5:00 to 10:00 PM, followed by a double-run of Judge Judy
as the lead-in to the 11:00 newscast. To replace the primetime movie WLNY recently reintroduced an afternoon movie to its schedule. It still airs a late night movie, or a rerun of Matlock
or one of the NBC Mystery Movie
series WLNY has rights to -- Banacek
, McCloud, and McMillan & Wife.
Over the years, WLIG/WLNY also broadcast professional and collegiate sports. WLNY carried Big East Conference
college basketball for many years until that conference moved its games exclusively to cable in the New York City market. For a number of years, WLNY also carried New York Islanders
hockey games and New Jersey Nets
basketball games as overrun when they could not be broadcast on regional sports networks due to conflicts with other games. WLNY has occasionally picked up CBS Sports events that WCBS-TV
can't carry due to news pre-emptions, such as airing The NFL Today on September 11, 2011 while WCBS aired the day's tribute ceremonies.

Recent years
On September 1, 1996, WLIG changed its call letters to WLNY (We Love New York) and rebranded itself as NY 55. Still, its location on the fringes of the New York City television market made cable television coverage of the station an ongoing concern. Although the FCC imposed "must carry" rules on cable companies in 1992, in 1997, they allowed some cable systems in New Jersey to exclude WLNY from carriage. WLNY, along with WRNN-TVWRNN-TV
