WYCN-CD, virtual channel 15 (UHF digital channel 32), is a Class A television station serving Boston, Massachusetts, United States that is licensed to Nashua, New Hampshire. It is a satellite of Boston-licensed low-powered NBC owned-and-operated station WBTS-LD (channel 8) that is owned by the NBC Owned Television Stations subsidiary of NBCUniversal (itself a subsidiary of Comcast), and is also sister to Merrimack, New Hampshire-licensed Telemundo owned-and-operated station WNEU (channel 60). WBTS and WNEU share studios with co-owned regional cable news channel New England Cable News (NECN) on Wells Avenue in Newton.

In most telecommunications organizations, a virtual channel is a method of remapping the program number as used in H.222 Program Association Tables and Program Mapping Tables to a channel number that can be entered via digits on a receiver's remote control. A "virtual channel" was first used for DigiCipher 2 in North America and then later used and referred to as a logical channel number (LCN) for private European Digital Video Broadcasting extensions widely used by the NDS Group and NorDig in other markets.

Ultra high frequency The range 300-3000 MHz of the electromagnetic spectrum

Ultra high frequency (UHF) is the ITU designation for radio frequencies in the range between 300 megahertz (MHz) and 3 gigahertz (GHz), also known as the decimetre band as the wavelengths range from one meter to one tenth of a meter. Radio waves with frequencies above the UHF band fall into the super-high frequency (SHF) or microwave frequency range. Lower frequency signals fall into the VHF or lower bands. UHF radio waves propagate mainly by line of sight; they are blocked by hills and large buildings although the transmission through building walls is strong enough for indoor reception. They are used for television broadcasting, cell phones, satellite communication including GPS, personal radio services including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, walkie-talkies, cordless phones, and numerous other applications.

Digital terrestrial television is a technology for terrestrial television in which land-based (terrestrial) television stations broadcast television content by radio waves to televisions in consumers' residences in a digital format. DTTV is a major technological advance over the previous analog television, and has largely replaced analog which had been in common use since the middle of the 20th century. Test broadcasts began in 1998 with the changeover to DTTV beginning in 2006 and is now complete in many countries. The advantages of digital terrestrial television are similar to those obtained by digitising platforms such as cable TV, satellite, and telecommunications: more efficient use of limited radio spectrum bandwidth, provision of more television channels than analog, better quality images, and potentially lower operating costs for broadcasters.

Through a channel sharing arrangement, WYCN shares transmitter facilities with Boston-licensed PBS member station WGBX-TV (channel 44) on Cedar Street in Needham, on a tower also used by several other TV and radio stations. Despite WYCN legally holding a low-power Class A license, it transmits using WGBX's full-power spectrum. This ensures complete reception across the Boston television market.

In telecommunication, frequency sharing is the assignment to or use of the same radio frequency by two or more stations that are separated geographically or that use the frequency at different times.

WGBX-TV PBS member station in Boston

WGBX-TV, virtual channel 44, is a Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) member television station licensed to Boston, Massachusetts, United States. Owned by the WGBH Educational Foundation, it is sister to fellow PBS member station and company flagship WGBH-TV, Springfield, Massachusetts-based PBS member WGBY-TV, Boston-area public radio stations WGBH and WCRB, and WCAI radio on Cape Cod. WGBX-TV, WGBH-TV and the WGBH and WCRB radio stations share studios on Guest Street in northwest Boston's Brighton neighborhood; WGBX-TV's transmitter is located on Cedar Street in Needham, Massachusetts, which is shared with sister station WGBH-TV as well as WBZ-TV, WCVB-TV, WYCN-LD and WSBK-TV.

History

The station signed on in 1988 [1] as W13BG [2] on channel 13 in Nashua. [1] It changed its call letters to WYCN-LP on April 8, 1996. [2] Originally owned by Center Broadcasting Corporation of New Hampshire, the station aired local community programming for the Nashua era, with FamilyNet airing for most of the day. Its analog-era tower was located on the Rivier University campus between two above-ground reservoirs and Brassard Hall, with studios located in Memorial Hall on the same campus. [3]

Call signs are frequently still used by North American broadcast stations, in addition to amateur radio and other international radio stations that continue to identify by call signs around the world. Each country has a different set of patterns for its own call signs. Call signs are allocated to ham radio stations in Barbados, Canada, Mexico and across the United States.

The Cowboy Channel

The Cowboy Channel is an American cable television network in over 25 million cable and satellite homes, which carries Western and rodeo sports. The network was founded in 1979 as the National Christian Network, and took the name FamilyNet in 1988 under the ownership of Jerry Falwell. It is owned by Rural Media Group, which also owns RFD-TV.

Rivier University, formerly Rivier College, is a private Catholic liberal arts university in Nashua, New Hampshire.

WYCN-LP was nearly dropped by Harron Cable on its Nashua-area systems in October 1999 to accommodate a must-carry request by WMFP (channel 62), [4] a move that could have led to the closure of channel 13 [5] even though its carriage on MediaOne in Nashua itself was not affected. [4] Its carriage was ultimately continued by Adelphia Communications following its purchase of Harron, [6] though the station was dropped for a time in 2000 after an additional must-carry request, from WYDN (channel 48), while Adelphia rebuilt the systems. [7]

In cable television, governments apply a must-carry regulation stating that locally licensed television stations must be carried on a cable provider's system.

WMFP SonLife affiliate in Foxborough, Massachusetts

WMFP, virtual channel 62, is a Sonlife Broadcasting Network-affiliated television station serving Boston, Massachusetts, United States that is licensed to Foxborough. The station is owned by NRJ TV, LLC. WMFP's studios are located on Lakeland Park Drive in Peabody, and its transmitter is located off Pleasant Street in West Bridgewater. The station is available on Atlantic Broadband and Comcast Xfinity channel 20, Verizon FiOS channel 23, Charter Spectrum channel 25, and DirecTV and Dish Network channel 62.

MediaOne Group, Inc. was created by US WEST Inc, one of the original Baby Bells Regional Bell Operating Companies, acquisition of Boston-based Continental Cable and combined with its previously acquired Atlanta-based Wometco/GTC. Wometco/GTC company had adopted the MediaOne name a year earlier. Media One Group was acquired in 2000 by AT&T Broadband, and was subsequently acquired by Comcast in 2002.

WYCN-LP, along with three co-owned translators in Nashua, Manchester, and Concord, was sold by Center Broadcasting Corporation of New Hampshire to New Hampshire 1 Network, a company controlled by William H. Binnie, in 2010. [8] The deal was completed January 3, 2012; [9] in the meantime, Binnie would also acquire WBIN-TV (channel 50, now WWJE-DT) in Derry. As a result of the sale, much of WYCN's community programming, including aldermatic debates, was discontinued. [10] In December 2012, the station's studios moved from Rivier University to a location shared with sister station WFNQ (106.3 FM). [11]

Manchester, New Hampshire largest city in New Hampshire

Manchester is a city in southern New Hampshire, United States. It is the most populous city in northern New England, an area comprising the states of Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. As of the 2010 census the city had a population of 109,565, and in 2018 the population was estimated to be 112,525.

Concord, New Hampshire capital of New Hampshire

Concord is the capital city of the U.S. state of New Hampshire and the county seat of Merrimack County. As of the 2010 census, its population was 42,695, and in 2018 the population was an estimated 43,412.

William Harrison "Bill" Binnie is a New Hampshire industrialist, investment banker, and philanthropist, who is currently president of the Carlisle Capital Corporation, president of the media company New Hampshire 1 Network and owner of Carlisle One Media. He is the former Chairman of the Finance Committee for the New Hampshire Republican State Committee, and a former candidate for the Republican nomination for the U. S. Senate in 2010. He served as chairman of Carlisle Plastics, Inc. until that firm was sold to Tyco International in September 1996.

New Hampshire 1 Network filed to sell WYCN-LP to OTA Broadcasting, a company controlled by Michael Dell's MSD Capital, on January 14, 2013; the three translators were not included in the deal, [12] and began to simulcast WBIN-TV. Operation of WYCN continued to be handled by New Hampshire 1. [13] At the time of the sale, WYCN was affiliated with My Family TV. [14] The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved the sale on March 22, [15] and it was completed on May 20. [16]

OTA Broadcasting, LLC was a broadcasting company founded in 2011 by Michael Dell. The company is based in Fairfax, Virginia.

WYCN-LP resumed producing local programming soon after the sale to OTA Broadcasting; however, in June 2013, Comcast (successor to both Harron/Adelphia and MediaOne) informed the station that it would be dropped from its lineup as of August 15 due to the earlier cessation of local programming, as well as its limited broadcast reach and continued analog broadcasting (even though WYCN had a construction permit to convert to digital operations and increase its broadcast range). [17] [18] [19] [20] Comcast subsequently pushed back the date of the removal to September 3, despite protests from viewers, politicians, and Nashua's public access station. [21] Due to its low power, WYCN's analog signal reached only portions of Nashua, its city of license. In contrast, its digital signal was expected to reach Manchester and Boston. The digital facility was planned to sign on by December 2013, [22] but was not licensed by the FCC until October 23, 2014. Their digital transmitter was located 625 feet (0.191 km) off Trigate Road in rural Hudson, southeast of Nashua.

Spectrum reallocation, sale to NBC

WYCN-CD sold its frequency rights as part of the FCC's spectrum auction for $80.4 million; [23] in the auction, the station indicated that it would continue operations through a post-auction channel sharing agreement. [24] On October 18, 2017, OTA Broadcasting entered into a channel sharing agreement with WGBX-TV (channel 44); under the terms of the agreement, channel sharing operations could not begin until the WYCN-CD license was acquired by NBCUniversal. [25] NBC agreed to purchase WYCN-CD the same day. [26] In December 2017, the station announced on its website that it would "cease broadcasting on its current frequency on January 16, 2018 and begin broadcasting NBC Boston on a new frequency." [27] As WYCN's signal overlaps with WGME-TV in Portland, Maine, which also uses virtual channel 13, WYCN began using virtual channel 15 following the commencement of channel sharing, as WGME's post-auction physical channel will be 15 (WGME's pre-auction channel, 38, is not available to WYCN as virtual channel 38 is assigned to CBS-owned MyNetworkTV affiliate WSBK-TV). [28] The sale to NBC was completed on January 18, 2018; [29] the station began channel sharing with WGBX the same day. At the time of transition, it was affiliated with Heroes & Icons, duplicating the same affiliation held by WSBK-DT2 in the market; that station continues to carry H&I, though the network lost the low channel number cable carriage it held with WYCN-CD.
