WCNY-TV is Syracuse, New York's public television station and PBS member station. WCNY-TV's programming is also seen in Utica on low-powered repeater W22DO-D channel 24 Digital (22 analog)

The station is owned by The Public Broadcasting Council of Central New York, who also owns 91.3 WCNY-FM (Classic FM).

The WCNY-TV call letters were originally used from 1954-65 by the station now known as WWNY-TV in Watertown.

WCNY-TV was the first television station in the Syracuse market to produce and broadcast their own programs in High Definition.

Digital television

WCNY-DT operates Eight digital programming subchannels: Four from Syracuse (Analog 25) Four from Utica (Analog 22) Each has the same format.

Analog-to-digital conversion

WCNY-TV shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 24, on June 12, 2009, the official date in which full-power television stations in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 25.^[2] Through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers display the station's virtual channel as its former UHF analog channel 24.

Prior to March 2013, WCNY's main programming was broadcast in SD-only (480i) on subchannel 24.1, while continuous HD (1080i) programming was offered on subchannel 24.4.

A fifth channel, WCNY2-“Your How To“, had been available on cable only.^[3]
