WNXY-LP is a low-power television station in New York, New York, broadcasting locally on channel 26. Like its sister station WNYX-LP, this station broadcasts community access-type programming. Much of its programming appeals to various ethnic audiences.

Originally, it began on channel 54 as W54AY. In 1998 it changed its call letters to WNXY-LP and move to channel 27. In 2000, it moved to channel 26 due to WTBY-TV having their digital signal on channel 27. In 2006, it was granted the right to flash cut to channel 43 after the digital transition, due to predicted interference with KYW-TV in Philadelphia, which broadcasts on channel 26.
