WNYC

WNYC is the MyNetworkTV owned-and-operated station serving the New York City market. It first aired in 1963 as a news-heavy independent.

Prior use of channel 15
Channel 15 has seen use by two other New York stations, both defunct. One station was WUHF, a test UHF station in 1952, which lasted between January 11, 1952 and July 16, 1952. The second station was WUNF, a station which lasted between 1958 and 1959.

Beginnings
WNYC was launched on June 17, 1963 with it's 6 AM newscast, which is now called "My15 Morning News." The station was not able to compete with even fellow independent WNYX on channel 7, now an ABS America owned-and-operated station. The station's owner, New York Broadcasting, was soon bought by Metromedia in 1965. Metromedia improved the stations newscasts and brought it to the high ratings for independents in New York. Metromedia soon bought WFMG (now WFNY) in 1966 to complement WNYC, but WFMG was recently in a scandal with it's prior owner, Kaiser Broadcasting (now DBN Television Stations) and was forced to be sold from them by the FCC. WFMG was forced to move their license to Bayonne, New Jersey for 10 years and step up on coverage of New Jersey. Metromedia soon sold WFMG to a company based in Bayonne named Bayonne Broadcasters, who would be bought in 1985 by News Corporation. MORE COMING
