WNYN-LD (channel 39) is a low-power television station in New York City. The station is owned by TVC Television, and transmits from atop One Court Square in Long Island City, Queens.

History

As W51BV

The station started out as W51BV channel 51 on July 19, 1991, as an affiliate of The Box Music Network licensed to Deer Park.

As WNYN-LP

On November 20, 1995, the station became WNYN-LP. In 2000, it ceased operations on channel 51 without warning, leaving many fans of The Box in the area in the dark. During this time, WNYN prepared to move to channel 39, while its sister station WXNY-LP, which at the time was on channel 39, prepared to move to channel 32.

In 2002, WNYN-LP moved to channel 39 and became an affiliate of Azteca América.

As WNYN-LD

On June 12, 2009, analog transmission for full-power stations ceased and digital transmission began. Azteca moved to WMBC-TV (channel 63)'s sixth subchannel in 2010. WNYN concurrently switched to being an independent station with a new station branding called TVC 39. WNYN aired movies along with music videos plus general programming.

Subchannels

The station's signal is multiplexed:
