WRNN-TV
Encyclopedia : W : WR : WRN : WRNN-TV
WRNN-TV broadcasts a schedule of mainly infomercials and home shopping from Rye Brook, New York with two and a half hours of news programs weekdays, some hourly two minute news updates, and enough children's programs to meet FCC Educational / Informational (E/I) license requirements. The main, full-power signal broadcasts in digital only on UHF channel 48.
It first went on the air in December 15, 1985 as WTZA, an independent station serving the mid-upper Hudson Valley region of New York State (the cities of Kingston, Poughkeepsie and Newburgh and region) and peripherally (by virtue of the outer range of their signal) the Albany area and the northern suburbs of New York City. The area is one of the biggest in the country to lack its own TV stations due to being in the signal range of both the New York and Albany stations. The weather portion of the newscast was unique in that it would give full forecasts for both New York City and Albany. Eventually, with the growth of cable TV and digital television, the call letters were changed to WRNN and its focus shifted to mostly news and informercials. Geographically, the focus shifted to the southern half of the Hudson Valley as well as New York City. For example, weather forecasts are not given for points north of Kingston even though its license is there, and more emphasis on New York City news is given than in the past).
In 2004, WRNN was one of the first stations to turn off their analog signal early; originally seen on analog channel 62, it could now only be seen on digital channel 48, requiring a digital converter or television to pick the channel up off-air.
WRNN has a low-power analog translator in Nyack, New York, operating on WRNN-LP channel 57.
As of 2005, WRNN's studios are located in Rye Brook, New York..
