WBPN-LP is the low-powered, MyNetworkTV-affiliated television station for the Eastern Twin Tiers of Southern Upstate New York and Northern Pennsylvania. Licensed to Morris, New York, it airs an analog signal on VHF channel 10 from a transmitter on Ingraham Hill (southwest of downtown Binghamton). Owned by the Stainless Broadcasting Company, WBPN is sister to Fox outlet WICZ-TV and the two stations share studios on Vestal Parkway East/NY 434 in Vestal. Syndicated programming on this television station includes 30 Rock, The Office, Family Guy, and Friends among others.

Due to its analog signal broadcasting at an extremely low-power, the radius only includes the immediate areas south of the Susquehanna River North Branch and does not even reach most of Binghamton. WBPN is more widely available on a second digital subchannel of WICZ. This can be seen in standard definition on VHF channel 8.2 (or virtual channel 40.2 via PSIP) from the same transmitter tower. WBPN is also offered on Time Warner Cable channel 8 (hence the on-air branding My 8) and digital channel 1215.

The station has a construction permit to air a low-powered digital signal of its own on UHF channel 23 under the call sign WBPN-LD. It is unknown when this signal will officially sign-on. On September 16, 2013, it was announced Mission Broadcasting would acquire WBPN and WICZ from Stainless Broadcasting. Upon the deal's completion, the stations' operations will be taken over by Nexstar Broadcasting Group making them sister stations to WIVT and WBGH-CA. ^[1]
