WEPT-CD , виртуальный канал 15 ( UHF цифровой канал 28), представляет собой маломощный , класс A Jewelry Television - аффилированная [1] Телевизионная станция лицензирована в Ньюберг, Нью - Йорк , США. [2] Станция принадлежит Venture Technologies Group .

История [ править ]

Станция возникла 24 января 1996 года [3] как разрешение на строительство для W02CJ , [4] который должен был работать на канале 2 в Манчестере, штат Вермонт, с башни в студии радиостанции WJAN (95,1 FM, теперь WVTQ ). . [3] Однако этот объект так и не был построен, и позже в том же году владельцы Рональд и Ян Морлино, которые также владели WJAN, передали W02CJ компании Vision 3 Broadcasting, [5] [6] которая 9 мая 1997 г. изменила разрешение на обслуживать Истон , Гленс-Фолс , Гудзон-Фолс и Саратога-Спрингс на канале 39 с горы Уиллард,[7] делает станцию W39CE . [4] Станция была спроектирована как ретранслятор WVBG-LP (канал 25) из Олбани ; однако, когда канал 39 был подписан в декабре 1997 года в качестве независимой станции , он был первой из трех запущенных станций Vision 3 [8], опередив W49BU (канал 49, позже переименованный в WVBK-LP; теперьканал 2 WYCX-CD ). в Манчестере, который был подписан в марте 1998 года [9], и сам WVBG, который дебютировал в августе 1998 года. [10] Channel 39 стал WVBX-LP 10 апреля 1998 года. [4]

5 октября 1998 г. WVBX вместе с материнской станцией WVBG стал филиалом UPN ; [11] он уже содержал блок UPN Kids , [12] но программы сети в прайм-тайм ранее были замечены в столичном округе через вторичные связи с филиалом Fox WXXA-TV (канал 23) [12] и станцией Pax WYPX (канал 55 ), [13], а также канатная дорога WSBK-TV из Бостона . [11] [13] Однако с самого начала станция не могла принимать вагоны.Time Warner Cable,[12] which chose to continue its carriage of WSBK;[11] this was despite acquiring several sports packages, including Big East football and basketball, the Boston Red Sox (the telecasts of which were dropped following a territorial complaint by the New York Yankees),[14] and the Boston Celtics.[15]

Vision 3 did win must-carry rights in Washington County (in the WVBX coverage area) on December 3, 1999.[16] However, the UPN affiliation ended at the start of 2000 when cable-only "WEDG-TV" (known later as "UPN 4") signed on as a joint operation between Time Warner Cable and WXXA.[17] WVBX would then revert to being an independent station, heavily emphasizing its status as a primarily over-the-air station;[18] that June, Vision 3 put WVBG and WVBX up for sale,[19] and by 2001 much of the station's schedule was taken up by America One[20] and Resort Sports Network programming.[21]

In 2002, a year after parent station WVBG was sold to Wireless Access, Vision 3 was granted a construction permit to move WVBX to channel 15 from a transmitter on the Helderberg Escarpment in New Scotland, near the location of the WVBG transmitter, in effect moving the station to Albany.[22] The new facility was also granted class A status,[22] with the call sign WVBX-CA.[4] On May 22, 2003, Vision 3 sold WVBX to Venture Technologies Group,[23] who took channel 39 off-the-air that June.[24] During this time, Venture built the channel 15 facility, gave it the call letters WNYA-CA on June 30, 2003,[4] and announced that the station would serve as a repeater of WNYA (channel 51) from Pittsfield, Massachusetts, which Venture was in the process of launching; this resulted in the unusual circumstance of a repeater station older than its parent station.[25] Together, the two stations came on the air September 1, 2003 as the Capital District's new UPN affiliate (replacing "WEDG-TV"),[25] operated by Freedom Communications, then-owner of WRGB (channel 6), under a joint sales agreement.[26]

On January 24, 2006, The WB and UPN announced that they would end broadcasting and merge to form a new network, The CW; the new network immediately named WEWB-TV (channel 45, now WCWN) its Capital District affiliate after then-owner Tribune Broadcasting signed a ten-year affiliation deal with the new network on most of its WB stations.[27] On February 22, News Corporation announced that it would start up another new broadcast television network called MyNetworkTV; on March 9, it was announced that WNYA (and in turn WNYA-CA) would join this network, which launched on September 5.[28] A few months after the affiliation change, on December 5, 2006, Freedom Communications purchased WCWN from Tribune, in effect giving it control over three stations in the Capital District;[29] in February 2007, the joint sales agreement with WRGB was terminated,[30] and WNYA moved from WRGB's studios in Niskayuna to a facility in Rotterdam that formerly housed WMHT-FM-TV.[31] In April 2011, WNYA-CA replaced WNYA's main programming with Antenna TV, simulcast from WNYA's second digital subchannel.[32]

On February 25, 2013, Hubbard Broadcasting announced that it would purchase WNYA to form a duopoly with its local NBC affiliate WNYT, for $2.3 million, pending FCC approval.[33][34] The sale did not include WNYA-CA, which remained with Venture Technologies.[35] Under a clause of the sale of WNYA that required WNYA-CA to use a new call sign that does not feature the letters "N" or "Y,"[34] channel 15 became WEPT-CA on March 8, 2013.[4] On May 29, 2013, the FCC approved the sale of WNYA to Hubbard,[36] which was completed July 15;[37] that September, WEPT-CA dropped its WNYA-DT2 simulcast to join AMGTV,[38] moved its transmitter to New Baltimore, and changed its city of license to Kinderhook. Venture then filed on September 25 to construct a digital companion facility on channel 22 broadcasting from Overlook Mountain in Woodstock;[2] the permit was granted on December 23.[39] On December 18, 2014, the station was issued a license for digital operation, with its city of license moving from Kinderhook to Newburgh and its call sign changing to WEPT-CD. The station, which had remained in the Albany television market while licensed to Kinderhook,[40] became part of the New York City market following the move to Newburgh.[41]

On January 10, 2018, WEPT-CD went silent due to antenna and line issues.[42] Per an FCC filing on August 14, 2018, the station resumed operations as of August 7, 2018.[43] On October 22, 2018, WEPT went silent in preparation for the FCC's Phase 4 repack.[44] On March 25, 2020, WEPT-CD filed a Suspension of Operations and Request for Silence STA with the FCC due to what the station called in its filing, "reflective power issues" [45]

On September 29, 2020, WEPT-CD resumed operations [46]
