WWJE-DT(channel 50) is atelevision stationlicensed toDerry, New Hampshire,United States, serving theBostonarea as an affiliate ofTrue Crime Network.It is owned byTelevisaUnivisionalongsideMarlborough, Massachusetts–licensedUnivision-owned stationWUNI(channel 66). The two stations share main studios and transmitter facilities on Parmenter Road inHudson, Massachusetts.WWJE is operated separately from WUNI'sjoint sales agreement(JSA) withEntravision Communications–ownedUniMásaffiliateWUTF-TV(channel 27) inWorcester.

WWJE formerly broadcast local newscasts from a studio located inConcord,branded as the NH1 News Network orNH1 News.Besides WBIN, sister radio stationWNNHalso used theNH1 Newsbranding from August 2015 to August 2017. WBIN-TV was one of only two television stations based in the state of New Hampshire to broadcast local newscasts (alongsideWMUR-TV), as much of the state is part of the Boston media market. On February 17, 2017, WBIN canceled its newscasts as part of a wind-down of the station's operations following the sale of itsspectrumin theFederal Communications Commission(FCC)'sincentive auction.

The station shut down its channel 35 transmitter on Merrill Hill inHudson, New Hampshire,on September 15, 2017, and began operating on channel 27 through a channel sharing agreement with channel 66 (then WUTF-DT); the WBIN-TV license was subsequently sold by Carlisle One Media, a company controlled byBill Binnie,to WUNI's owner, Univision Communications.

History[edit]

Prior history of channel 50 in Boston[edit]

Main article:WXPO-TV

The channel 50 allocation in the Boston market originally belonged toWXPO-TV,which launched in October 1969. It operated from two studios: its offices and master production facilities were located on Dutton Street in downtownLowell, Massachusetts;however, its transmitter and "main" studio was on Governor Dinsmore Road inWindham, New Hampshire,to comply with FCC regulations requiring that a station's transmitter be located within 15 miles (24 km) of itscity of license.[citation needed]

However, the station's coverage in many parts ofGreater Bostonwas spotty at best. The station's Lowell studios were located less than 1,000 feet (305 m) from the transmitter ofWLLH,making high-quality production impossible during the day due toRF interferencewith the cameras. Advertisers were scared off when theLowell Sunblacklisted anyone who bought commercials on the station. Bills went unpaid for several months. By early 1970, 90% of the station's staff was removed from the payroll, although many continued with the station, believing it could pull through. The Lowell studio was closed down that spring; finally, in June the power company pulled the plug at the Windham studios during aMaverickrerun, taking WXPO off the air.[citation needed]

On July 17, 1973, channel 50 returned to the air with a test transmission, with plans to return the station to the air later that year, possibly as New Hampshire'sCBSaffiliate. Those plans never materialized, and the WXPO-TV license was deleted in 1975.[citation needed]

WNDS[edit]

The final WNDS logo, used from circa 2004 until September 26, 2005. It is a modified version of a logo that was introduced in 1998.

The current iteration of channel 50 signed on the air on September 5, 1983,[2]as WNDS, anindependent stationknown on-air as "The Winds of New England." It was owned by CTV of Derry, a company not related to theCTV Television Networkin Canada. The program included somecartoonslikeScooby-DooandSuper Friendsin the morning hours,religious showslikeThe 700 Clublate in the morning,sitcomson midday afternoons, cartoons for an hour or so after 3 p.m., more sitcoms in the evenings and late nights, and amoviein prime time. Sitcoms came from theViacomandParamountlibraries, including such well-known series asI Love Lucy,The Brady Bunch,Happy Days,Laverne and ShirleyandThe Andy Griffith Show,among others.

The station acquired some of the programming assets ofWNHT(channel 21, frequency now occupied byWPXG-TV) in 1989 after that station shut down on March 31; the deal did not include the channel 21 license or WNHT's CBS affiliation.[3]In the 1990s, the station increased cartoons a bit and began running more recent sitcoms anddrama shows.

In 1996, WNDS added programming from the Global Shopping Network (GSN) overnights. In January 1997, the station began running Global Shopping Network programming 15 hours a day, with entertainment programming continuing from 3 to 11 p.m. On April 5, 1997, GSN began programming the station full-time with a 24-hourhome shoppingformat as part of a planned purchase of the station.[4]However, GSN soon ran into financial problems;[5]after it missed a payment for the station, CTV of Derry canceled the sale and reverted WNDS to its previous general entertainment format that June.[6]CTV held onto channel 50 until 2004, when it sold the station to Shooting Star Broadcasting.[7]

WZMY-TV[edit]

Soon after assuming control, in August 2005, Shooting Star Broadcasting announced that WNDS would change itscall lettersto WZMY-TV and its branding to"My TV".[8]At that time, the station overhauled its schedule, based on viewer responses on the old WNDS website. The changes were implemented on-air on September 26, 2005.[9]

WZMY's first logo as a MyNetworkTV affiliate (its second as "My TV" ), used from September 5, 2006, through May 26, 2011.

On February 22, 2006,News Corporationannounced the launch of a new network calledMyNetworkTV,which created in response to another upstart network that was also set to launch that September,The CW(an amalgamated network that originally consisted primarily ofUPNandThe WB's higher-rated programs).[10][11]

Since WZMY had already filed a trademark in mid-2005 for use of the "MyTV" name, it was speculated that WZMY would take legal action against News Corporation over its similar name.[12]Ultimately on July 21, 2006, WZMY'sMy TV Clubnewsletter announced that the station would become the region's MyNetworkTV affiliate – giving channel 50 the first network affiliation in its history – this was later revealed on July 24 to the media and visitors to WZMY's website, and to the general public on July 26. Until the announcements were made, Boston and Southern New Hampshire had been the largest market where MyNetworkTV had not yet signed a full-time affiliate. With WZMY affiliating with MyNetworkTV upon the network's launch on September 5, 2006, the station continued to use its "My TV" branding, though the logo was changed to reflect MyNetworkTV's logo scheme (a different logo had been in use in the year following the 2005 relaunch).

In December 2009, the station laid off seven employees as part of strategy change to streamline operations and change some of the programming options to be more hyperlocal. Operation of WZMY was taken over by New Age Media,LLC,making it a sister station toWPXTandWPMEinPortland, Maine.[13]The station added adigital subchannelaffiliated withUniversal Sportsin June 2010.[14]

WBIN-TV[edit]

Simplified version of the WBIN-TV logo, used from 2014 through December 2017

On March 3, 2011,Portsmouth-based Carlisle One Media, Inc., a company controlled byBill Binnie,announced that it had reached an agreement to purchase WZMY-TV.[15]The sale was completed on May 17;[16]ten days later, the call letters were changed to WBIN-TV.[15][17]It also dropped the "My TV New England" branding (becoming one of a number of MyNetworkTV affiliates to not feature the programming service's branding), choosing to refer to itself using its call letters.

Binnie originally indicated that WBIN-TV would retain its affiliations with MyNetworkTV and Universal Sports;[15]however, the station announced on June 15 that it would leave MyNetworkTV and become an independent again as part of an increased local emphasis, with the service's programming moving toWSBK-TV(channel 38) on September 19,[18][19][20]while Universal Sports restructured itself into a cable- and satellite-only channel in January 2012, then shut down in October 2015.[21]Nonetheless, the station added an additional subchannel, carryingTheCoolTV,in October 2011;[22]additionally, it replaced Universal Sports withLive Well Networkon January 1, 2012.[23]In July 2012, WBIN-TV terminated its affiliation with TheCoolTV; it was replaced withWeatherNation TVon January 14, 2013.[24]The station also made moves to strengthen its programming, including the addition ofEntertainment TonightandThe Insideron September 10, 2012 (Entertainment Tonighthad previously aired in New Hampshire onWMUR-TV;both programs also remained on WSBK-TV).[25]In December 2014,Gritreplaced WeatherNation TV on their DT3 sub-channel.[26]In January 2015, Live Well Network was replaced with "WBIN Classics" on the DT2 sub-channel, featuring original programming as well as programming from theAntenna TVnetwork.[27]

WBIN was theflagshipof Binnie Media, a group that also included WYCN-LP (channel 13) inNashuaand 16 northern New England radio stations formerly owned byNassau Broadcasting Partners.[28][29][30][31]

Spectrum sale; relaunch as WWJE-DT[edit]

On February 17, 2017, Binnie Media announced that WBIN-TV had sold its spectrum in the FCC'sspectrum incentive auctionfor $68.2 million; concurrently, the station's "remaining television license rights" would be acquired by an undisclosed "major television group" for an estimated $10–30 million in what it described as a "channel-sharing sale". In a statement, Bill Binnie said that the sale "makes WBIN-TV one of the most valuable media properties in the history of New Hampshire media." Binnie Media also announced that WBIN-TV would "cease broadcasting in the coming months", with proceeds from the sale going toward the acquisition of additional digital, outdoor, and radio assets.[32]

On May 4, 2017, WBIN-TV filed to channel-share withWUTF-DT(channel 66, nowWUNI).[33]In the channel sharing agreement, reached on January 11, 2016, the stations agreed to grant put and call rights that could result in WUTF's owner, Univision Local Media, acquiring the WBIN license; under the terms of the agreement, Univision would be required to change WBIN-TV's call letters as a condition of the sale.[34]Univision exercised its option to buy the WBIN-TV license for $16,764,133.70 on May 8, 2017.[35]WBIN-TV ceased broadcasting on channel 35 on September 15, 2017, and began to share channel 27 with WUTF-DT;[36]as of September 2017,only WBIN's main channel is broadcast using virtual channel 50.[37]WBIN-TV began phasing out itssyndicated programmingfollowing the announcement of the spectrum sale; by December 2017, the station's schedule consisted primarily of Antenna TV programming, with the talk showHarry(which also aired on NBC Boston) serving as its last syndicated program. Univision's purchase of the station was completed on December 21, 2017;[38]the station then became a Justice Network affiliate. The call letters were changed to WWJE-DT on January 12, 2018.[17]

Antenna TV was absent from the Boston TV market until it was picked up by WCRN-LD on May 5, 2020.[39]Grit is now carried on the primary channel ofWDPX-TV.[40]

Local programming[edit]

During its first year on the air, WNDS ran a number of locally produced programs, including acooking show(The Yankee Gourmet), achildren's show(Just Kidding Around) and a weekly prime-timevariety show(The Best of New Hampshire). All of these shows were canceled by the end of 1985. The station also covered live local sports, includinghigh school football,college hockeyandminor league baseball.WNDS also ran acandlepin bowlingshow each weekend at noon calledCandlepin Stars and Strikes,which aired from 1984[41]until August 2005.[42]

Prior to affiliating with the Global Shopping Network in April 1997, WNDS also ran three additional shows:High School Sports Review(which provided high school sports news in the New Hampshire and Massachusetts region),Sports Wrap(asports talkshow discussing Boston sports), andWNDS News Up Front(a localnewsmagazine). When regular programming was restored in June, these three shows were not resurrected. In addition, during the early 2000s, channel 50 ran apublic affairsprogram titledCapitol Ideashosted byArnie Arnesen.Friday Night Chaos,a 30-minute weekly show from independentwrestlingpromotionChaotic Wrestling,aired on WNDS from 2001 to 2002. The station also aired a locally produced talk show hosted by singer-comedian Bucky Lewis.

After the station's relaunch as WZMY-TV, much of its local programming consisted of visits to businesses around the region, in a format known as "My Shows". The original show under this format wasMy New England,[9]but variants focusing on specific topics were subsequently added, such asMy Premier BrideandMy Good HealthandMy Home and Garden.Additionally, several local businesses (particularly car dealerships, but sometimes other businesses such as Dollar Bill's Discount World) produced programs that appeared on weekend mornings; those programs had also appeared on WNDS. At the time of the relaunch, two other local programs also existed: a talk show entitledMyTV Prime[9](which originally aired from 9 to 10 p.m.[9]and later from 8 to 9:30 p.m.), andWild World(a review ofaction sportsaround the region, which was produced by Dan Egan). However, the station subsequently discontinued these shows from its lineup (althoughWild Worldwas still produced for other outlets).

In its later years as "My TV", the station adopted a "Branded Entertainment" model, focusing on local product placement. Most of the station's local programming during this time, in addition to the remaining "My Shows" -formatted programs, included 30-minute wrestling show from the Massachusetts-based "Big Time Wrestling" promotion (which aired on the station from May 1, 2009, until moving toWMFPin December 2010),Scorch's PFG-TV(a talk show hosted byWGIR-FMpersonality Scorch),The Chef's Plate(which showcases New Hampshire's top chefs creating their signature dishes),The Steve Katsos Show(also aired on sister station WPME in Portland),Debra Crosby's Talent Quest TV Show,Quiet Desperation(a reality comedy series based inAllston, Massachusetts),Inside the Revolution(a spotlight on theNew England Revolution),AFO Proving Grounds,Animation Nation,Boston Ruit,theGreenScreen.tv,AsianBoston TV,andIron Brides,a reality competition show featuring brides-to-be.[43]Many of these programs were produced in collaboration with independent production companies through what the station referred to as "MyTV New England Studios". Some of these programs were retained following the relaunch as WBIN-TV, thoughQuiet Desperationwas dropped following the sale to Carlisle One due to concerns over the program's content,[44]andScorch's PFG-TVand the local history showRegional Chroniclessubsequently moved to WMFP.

Following Carlisle One Media's acquisition of the station, WBIN-TV announced that it would offer increased coverage of high school, college, and professional sports;[45]this includes telecasts ofNew Hampshire Wildcatshockey and basketball (produced by theUniversity of New Hampshirein association with Pack Network)[46]Merrimack Warriors hockey,[47]and theUMass Minutemen.[48]

The Language of Business,a locally produced business newsmagazine, began airing on WBIN-TV on June 5, 2016.

News operation[edit]

Soon after signing-on in the fall of 1983, WNDS began airing nightly newscasts at 6 and 10 p.m. The news staff included news anchor Larry Sparano, sportscasterDoug Brown,and meteorologistAl Kaprielian.The weekend newscasts were dropped in 1985, followed by the weeknight editions by 1986.

On September 28, 1998, WNDS debutedNews Now,consisting of newscasts at 7 and 10 p.m. weeknights,[49]as well as weekend afternoons (the latter of which were dropped by early 2002). By 2003, the 11:57 a.m. weekday news update was expanded into a half-hour newscast at noon. Shortly after Shooting Star bought the station, the noon broadcast was discontinued, and the 10 p.m. edition was cut down to 10 minutes.[50]In addition to the full newscasts, some news/weather updates as well as standalone weather updates from chief meteorologist Al Kaprielian were provided throughout the day.

When the station was relaunched as WZMY-TV, the 10 p.m. newscast was dropped entirely; the early evening newscast was renamedMyTV Nowand aired weeknights from 7:30 to 8 p.m. An additional 60-minute news and commentary program,MyTV Prime,aired from 9 to 10 p.m.[9]On March 10, 2006, however, the two programs were consolidated into a new, 90-minute version ofMyTV Primethat aired from 8 to 9:30 p.m. News was no longer provided outside of that program. By July 2006, channel 50 had discontinuedMyTV Primein favor of sitcomreruns.Weather updates from Al Kaprielian were still provided each hour from noon to midnight; for a time, these were accompanied by news updates that used theMyTV Nowtitle.

WZMY dissolved its news department completely (with the exception of weather) in November 2007, after Nicole Papageorge and Mike DeBlasi (the longest-tenured on-air employee after Kaprielian) departed the station. As a result, WZMY eliminated all daily news cut-ins, political commentary, and locally produced public affairs programming.

Channel 50 was well known in New England for meteorologist Al Kaprielian. His quirky, offbeat style made him a minor celebrity in Southern New Hampshire. As a result of his popularity, he appeared as a "Guest Meteorologist" onThe Weather Channel'sAbrams & Bettes: Beyond the Forecaston November 10, 2006. He had worked for WNDS/WZMY for his whole career. However, as a result of the station's December 2009 cutbacks, Kaprielian was laid off from the station, with his final day on-air occurring onDecember 31;as a result, the station discontinued its weather updates.[51][52]Kaprielian returned to WBIN-TV on August 20, 2012, providing hourly forecasts from 2 to 9 p.m.;[53]he also provided forecasts for Binnie Media's radio stations.[54]Kaprielian left the station in 2015.

Soon after the sale to Carlisle One, the station announced plans to re-establish a local news department, including a bureau at Carlisle One's headquarters in Portsmouth;[45]rivalABCaffiliate WMUR-TV (channel 9) already operated a Portsmouth bureau. On September 29, 2011, WBIN debuted a new half-hour weeknight newscast.[28][55][56]Known asNews at 10 on WBIN,the show was produced in partnership with theDavenport, Iowa-basedIndependent News Network(INN). The news anchor andmeteorologistwere provided by the centralized news operation and other personnel from INN filled-in as necessary. WBIN maintained three local reporters who contributed relevant Southern New Hampshire content. All of the broadcasts originated from INN's Davenport studios.[54]There was no regularly-scheduled sports report. The station maintained additional partnerships with theBoston Globe(which originally provided headlines through an on-screen ticker), theNashuaTelegraph,andBloomberg.[54][56]WBIN indicated plans to further expand its newscast offerings,[56]including long-range plans for a morning newscast;[54]Binnie stated his intention to construct "a public affairs infrastructure that will attract people who are serious about news in New Hampshire."[57]

In addition toNews at 10,WBIN-TV sponsored several debates, including aCharlie Rose-moderatedRepublicanpresidential debateatDartmouth Collegeon October 11, 2011, in association with Bloomberg andThe Washington Post,[28][45]as well as one gubernatorial and two congressional debates at its Derry studios in partnership with various New Hampshire newspapers andAARPin October 2012.[25][58]The station also aired a daily INN-produced half-hour political newscast,Campaign Countdown,at 5 p.m. during the latter portion of the2012 election season.[25]On February 6, 2012, WBIN began airing the syndicated morning showThe Daily Buzzfrom 6 to 9 a.m. At the time, the station planned to add a political show to its lineup by 2014.[57]

WBIN-TV moved its news operation to the former Walker School inConcordin 2014 (the remainder of the station's operations remained in Derry), with the school's auditorium being repurposed for debates held by the station. The building, which was acquired by Binnie Media at auction from theConcord School Districton November 15, 2012, also houses Binnie's Concord radio stations as well as Binnie Media's offices.[31][59]WBIN also established bureaus throughout New Hampshire, includingLaconia[54](at a former police station[60]),Manchester,andLebanon,in addition to Derry and Portsmouth.[54]

WBIN-TV ended its INN-produced newscast on April 26, 2013, leaving Kaprielian's forecasts as the only local news content on the station. The station also laid off two of its three reporters.[61]The cancellation did not impact WBIN's plans for the former Walker School;[62]Binnie stated in August 2013 that "it's more important to make a wholesale commitment, which we will do with NH1 Network,"[63]while Robb Atkinson, WBIN's news director, would subsequently concede that "we weren't happy with the quality."[64]The station debuted a weeknight 90-minute early evening news block at 5 p.m. and a nightly 10 p.m. newscast[65][66]on September 15, 2014[64]under theNH1 News Networkbranding, based out of the newsroom in the Walker School building in Concord and the Nashua, Derry, Portsmouth, Laconia, and Lebanon news bureaus;[65]WBIN also produced a weekly magazine program on Sunday mornings,[65]and the news operation supplies half-hourly newscasts to Binnie Media's radio stations.[64]While the new newscasts competed against the longer-established WMUR-TV news operation, Lee Kinberg, the executive vice president ofNH1 News Network,stated that the newscasts were "very different from Channel 9," and included more coverage of theSeacoast Regioncompared to WMUR.[65]WBIN's newscasts also emphasized coverage of politics, with former NashuaTelegraphState House reporter Kevin Landrigan serving as chief political correspondent and longtimeCNNpolitical editor Paul Steinhauser becomingNH1's political director on January 1, 2015;[64][66]Atkinson has said that "We want to own politics in New Hampshire."[66]In addition to the weeknight newscasts, the station announced its intention to launch a four-hour morning newscast and an hour-long noon newscast by 2015.[66]Initially, the 10 p.m. half-hour weekend newscast didn't debut with the news department, but it did launch on October 25, 2014. The first new weekday newscast to launch since the founding of the news operation wasNH1 News at 6:30,which debuted on September 21, 2015.[67]

WBIN-TV aired its final newscasts on February 16, 2017; the following day, the station laid off most of the news staff concurrent with the announcement of the sale of the station's spectrum in the FCC spectrum auction.[32]In a statement, Binnie Media said thatNH1 Newswould continue operations on radio and online.[68]

Analog-to-digital conversion[edit]

WWJE-DT (as WZMY-TV) shut down its analog signal, overUHFchannel 50, on December 1, 2008, which was within the permissible 90-day window prior to the original February 17, 2009, deadline for full-power television stations in the United States totransition from analog to digital broadcastsunder federal mandate (this deadline was later moved to June 12, 2009). The station's digital signal continued to broadcast on its pre-transition UHF channel 35,[70][71][72]usingvirtual channel50.

In 2010, WZMY-TV began broadcasting prime time MyNetworkTV programming inhigh definition.

Former translators[edit]

As WBIN-TV, the station's programming was also seen on three translators in southern New Hampshire. All three stations were owned by New Hampshire 1 Network, Inc., a sister company to Carlisle One Media that previously owned WYCN-CD in Nashua, New Hampshire (nowNBCO&OWBTS-CD); historically co-owned with that station, the three repeaters were not included in a subsequent sale of WYCN.

All three facilities wereconstruction permits;the accompanying analog signals left the air on January 3, 2012, to accommodate the construction of these signals.[73][74][75]Since December 28, 2012, the stations were broadcasting underspecial temporary authorityfrom a tower at the WBIN studios in Derry while constructing their permanent facilities in order to maintain their broadcast licenses.[76][77][78]All three stations were shut down October 4, 2017, and surrendered their licenses the following day.[79]
