History

On August 28, 2016, the Federal Communications Commission approved the transfer of control of a low-power digital television license in Watertown, W45EI-D, from Sunrise, Florida-based DTV America to SagamoreHill Broadcasting.^[4] The new owners promptly renamed the station WVNC-LD and signed an affiliation deal with the station with NBC, giving the Watertown area its first full-time NBC affiliate. The new station signed-on December 1, 2016. Prior to WVNC-LD's sign-on, WSTM-TV in Syracuse and WPTZ in Plattsburgh had served as the default NBC affiliate for the area, while WWNY-TV previously had a secondary affiliation with the network until 1995.^[5]

News Operation

WVNC-LD currently does not air any news programming, but planning is underway to open a news department by early 2018.
