WNYX-LD is a low-power television station in New York, New York, broadcasting locally on channel 35 as a full-time affiliate of CCTV News.

History

As W59AT and W44AI

Originally, this station began operations on channel 59 as W59AT and was licensed to Plainview, NY. Becoming 3rd TV station in Long Island, and the second independent station since WSNL now WFTY-TV first went on the air 7 years earlier. For a while, it was a translator for WLIG (now WLNY-TV). In 1987, it moved to channel 44, moved its city of license to Hicksville, NY and, accordingly changed its call letters to W44AI. In 1994, it changed its call letters to WNYX-LP, and in 1997 it moved to channel 35 in New York, NY.

As WNYX-LP

Throughout the 1990s and 2000s (decade), WNYX-LP aired community programming, some of which was produced by local businesses and Public-access television studios. Like its sister station WNXY-LD, this station broadcasts community Public-access television-type programming. Much of its programming appeals to various ethnic audiences. Other programming that was produced in the early 1990s were psychic tarot readings. In 2004, WNYX produced an hour-long program called The New Yorkers, hosted by James Chladek. Another program that was added was a movie review program hosted by Stu Lee. Other programming included music videos.

In 2005 WNYX began to air Almavision form 9am to 9pm and programmed community programing weeknights and weekends. In 2006, Nuestra TV was carried full-time. In 2007, WNYX went back to its current independent status. Metro Studios moved from East 23rd Street to its new location on West 42nd Street in Times Square in 2007. Therefore, WNYX ceased operations temporarily from June to late November.

WNYX returned to the air two days before Thanksgiving, with a new branding of TV 35 New York. Some of its programming was replaced by The New Yorkers, which aired during the day. During the evenings, old classic movies aired along with psychic readings. On weekends, only religious programming aired in the mornings. In 2009, around the same time Pulse 87 audio programming was being aired over co-owned WNYZ-LP, the entire programming lineup was dropped in favor of another format called The Jared Whitham Channel featuring Jared Whitham, a bespectacled local area comic/musician. WNYX-LP temporarily signed off in October 2009 along with co-owned WNXY and WXNY in order to build out digital transmitting facilities.

WNYX is currently licensed to New York, but it is available online. WNYX returned to the air in November 2010 with a new format airing both paid programming and religious programming under a temporary LMA with Jacobs Brocasting. Soon after, the station rebranded itself simply as WNYX. WNYX is still owned by Island Broadcasting Company.

As WNYX-LD

WNYX-LD simulcasts the programming on co-owned WNXY-LD and WXNY-LD. Programming consists of silent black & white movies featuring Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. Island Broadcasting sold the following stations to NY Spectrum Holdings in 2012. Early that year in 2012 WNYX became a full-time CCTV news affiliate. As of September 2013, WNYX-LD is off the air, with the CCTV co-affiliation going to sister station WNXY Channel 43. There is no word yet on if WNYX-LD will return to the airwaves with another format.
