[edit] History
Channel 43 in Syracuse began on October 7, 1989 as independent station WSNR-TV. The call letters were changed five years later (1994) to its current WNYS-TV. In January 1995, WNYS joined the then-fledging UPN TV network, billing itself as UPN 43, and was the affiliate for eight years, until they switched to The WB in 2003. On September 5, 2006, WNYS affiliated with their third network in the last twelve years, when they joined the new My Network TV.
