History

As W63AS and W38AM

WXNY originally began as W63AS on channel 63, and for a while it was an out of market translator of WVIA-TV for local schools. Like its sister station WNYX-LD, it later became a translator to the then-WLIG. Due to interference to and from WMBC-TV, which is also on channel 63, it moved to channel 38 as W38AM. It became an affiliate of The Box in 1991.

As WXNY-LP

In 1994, the call sign was changed to WXNY-LP and the station moved to channel 39. Around this time, it became an affiliate of the Spanish network LTV; it continued to carry The Box on a part-time basis.

In 2002, WXNY-LP moved to channel 32 and became an affiliate of the Home Shopping Network, at the same time, its sister station, WNYN-LP, moved from channel 51 to channel 39 and became an affiliate of Azteca América. When W60AI became the HSN affiliate for the area, WXNY-LP became an affiliate of America's Store.

After the closing of America's Store, WXNY-LP began to air programming similar to that seen on public-access television cable television channels, including several hours per afternoon and overnight of a locally produced music video call-in request show hosted by young men and women in their late teens and early twenties. Callers would pay approximately $3.00 per call and could request up to two music videos per call. They could also briefly discuss issues going on in their personal lives. Other programming fare included a TV psychic. Programming during this time was often simulcast on co-owned LPTV station WNYX-LP.

In summer of 2007, the station suspended operations as the studio moved to its new location in Times Square. By late November, it went back on the air as a relay translator of WNYX-LP. In April 2009, WXNY-LP once more suspended operations, due to a lack of technical personnel to operate the station.

As WXNY-LD

In late 2010, WXNY returned to the air for the third time with a religious and Infomercial format under a local marketing agreement agreement with Jacobs Broadcasting. However, early that year, Jacobs ceased operation due to a fraud investigation and WXNY switched to a test pattern temporarily. In spring 2011, Island Broadcasting agreed to sell WXNY to NY Spectrum Holdings Company. The station was sold to NY Spectrum Holdings Company and operated by NY Broadband LLC in 2010.

In 2011, WXNY switched to a new format in Chinese news programming as CGTN English on DT1, CCTV-4 America on DT2, and CGTN Spanish on DT3. In 2013, a fourth sub channel was added, 32.4, as infomercials under the WXNY call. In October 2013, WXNY-LD moved from Channel 32 to Channel 26, but still used Channel 32 as their virtual channel. Also, in the fall of 2013, the CCTV programming simulcast moved from WNYX-LD (which eventually went dark) to sister station WNXY-LD. By December 2013, WXNY left Channel 26 and returned to Channel 32. As of 2018, WXNY was off the air, as WLIW planned to move to channel 32.[ citation needed ]

In early 2019, WXNY returned on channel 32, showing a looping logo of a Chinese religious channel called Good TV. On August 1, WXNY was taken off the air to make way for WLIW's move from channel 21 to channel 32. WXNY planned to move to channel 23, previously occupied by WDVB-CD. The following year, Good TV moved to WNXY and CGTN America returned to WXNY, joining with WNYX-LD. In 2022, NY Spectrum Holdings sold WXNY-LD to Word of God Fellowship and CGTN America was removed shortly afterwards reverting back to an English general entertainment format of COMFY-TV. In 2023, COMFY TV was replaced with Daystar programming.

As of early 2016, Retro TV and Rev'n had been added on 32.4 and 32.5, marking the station's first two English language sub-networks since the "community access" programming era of 2007-2012 and the first networks since America's Store was shown from 2004 to 2007.
