WBNG-TV (channel 12) is a television station in Binghamton, New York, United States, affiliated with CBS and The CW Plus. The station is owned by Gray Media, and maintains studios on Columbia Drive in Johnson City and a transmitter on Ingraham Hill Road in the town of Binghamton.

Key Information

History

[edit]

The station signed on December 1, 1949, as WNBF-TV and was originally owned by Clark Associates Inc. along with WNBF radio (1290 AM and 98.1 FM, now WHWK). At its launch, WNBF carried programs from all four American television networks at the time (CBS, DuMont, NBC, and ABC) since it was the market's first television outlet to launch. For many of its early years, WNBF was the only station available to viewers in the nearby Scranton–Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, market as set owners pointed their roof-top antennas north towards Binghamton. The station subsequently lost its affiliations with DuMont in 1956 after the network's collapse, and the others when new UHF stations arrived in town: NBC on WINR-TV (channel 40, now WICZ-TV) in 1957; and ABC to WBJA-TV (channel 34, now WIVT) in 1962.

The station was a major beneficiary of a quirk in the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)'s plan for allocating stations. In the early days of broadcast television, there were twelve VHF channels available and 69 UHF channels (later reduced to 55 in 1983). The VHF bands were more desirable because they carried longer distances. Since there were only twelve VHF channels available, there were limitations as to how closely the stations could be spaced.

After the FCC's Sixth Report and Order ended the license freeze and opened the UHF band in 1952, it devised a plan for allocating VHF licenses. Under this plan, almost all of the country would be able to receive two commercial VHF channels plus one noncommercial channel. Most of the rest of the country ("1/2") would be able to receive a third VHF channel. Other areas would be designated as "UHF islands" since they were too close to larger cities for VHF service. The "2" networks became CBS and NBC, "+1" represented non-commercial educational stations, and "1/2" became ABC (which was the weakest network usually winding up with the UHF allocation where no VHF was available).

However, the Binghamton market was sandwiched between Syracuse (channels 3, 8 (later 5), and 9) and Utica (channel 13, later 2) to the north, Elmira (a UHF island) to the west, Scranton–Wilkes-Barre (a UHF island) to the south, and Albany–Schenectady–Troy (channels 4 (later 6), 10, and later joined by 13) and New York City (channels 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13) to the east. This created a large "doughnut" in south-central New York where there could only be one VHF license. Binghamton was also too close to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and New Haven, Connecticut, to reallocate channel 8 into the market; the original channel 8 allocation would later be moved to Rochester. Additionally, UHF signals usually do not travel very far over rugged terrain, as was the case in Binghamton and in Scranton–Wilkes-Barre. As a result, WNBF was the only station in Binghamton until WINR-TV signed on in 1957.

Philadelphia-based Triangle Publications, owner of various broadcasting and newspaper properties, purchased the WNBF stations in 1955. As part of Triangle's exit from broadcasting in 1972, WNBF-AM-FM-TV and sister stations in Altoona and Lebanon (both in Pennsylvania) were sold to Gateway Communications. Gateway was a new broadcasting concern majority-owned by the Borg family, publishers of the Bergen Record of Hackensack, New Jersey, and headed by George Koehler, president of Triangle's broadcast division.[2][3][4][5][6][7] As a condition of the purchase, Gateway sold the WNBF radio stations to Des Moines–based Stoner Broadcasting and retained channel 12 which was renamed to its current call sign, WBNG-TV on October 28, 1972.[8]

In September 1998, an agreement between WBNG, The WB 100+ Station Group and the area's cable provider allowed the station to launch the WB-affiliated "WBXI" cable channel, which replaced superstation WPIX on Binghamton-area cable systems. Since it was a cable-exclusive outlet, the call sign was not officially recognized by the FCC. WBNG provided sales and promotional opportunities to "WBXI".[9][10][11]

In 2000, Gateway was purchased by SJL Broadcasting which reduced staff from 100 to 58 over five years to fit the aggressive SJL automation model. In 2002, WBNG's digital signal on VHF channel 7 signed on.

In April 2006, it was announced that Granite Broadcasting made a deal to acquire the station from Television Station Group License Subsidiary, LLC (successor to SJL and a subsidiary of Alta Communications) for $45 million. The required money was funded by a new senior credit facility created after the previously announced sales of Detroit's WMYD and San Francisco's KBWB fell apart. Granite would close on its purchase of WBNG on July 26, 2006. As part of the transaction, Les Vann (formerly president and general manager of CBS affiliate WTVH in Syracuse) was promoted to executive vice president of the company's Central and Southern New York operations. His duties were regional in nature with responsibilities at both WBNG and WTVH.

WBNG's digital signal began broadcasting network programming in high definition in late January 2007. Beginning in September 2007, CW affiliate "WBXI" began to be simulcast on a new second digital subchannel of WBNG; the faux "WBXI" call sign, which was inherited from the former WB 100+ cable-only channel, was then dropped. In December 2008, it was announced a deal was reached between Granite and Time Warner Cable to carry WBNG's high definition feed throughout the Binghamton region. This was the first time HD programming from CBS was available to customers in the Southern Tier of New York State without using an antenna.

On February 11, 2014, Quincy Newspapers announced that it had reached a deal to purchase WBNG from Granite along with other company-owned and/or managed stations in three other markets.[12] The sale was approved on September 15, 2015[13] and completed on November 2.[14]

Until April 25, 2009, WBNG served as the longtime default CBS affiliate for the Elmira–Corning area. On that date, ABC affiliate WENY-TV signed on a new second digital subchannel in order to offer access to CBS for the first time ever in that market. On November 22, 2015, WBNG also lost its status as the default CBS affiliate for most of Otsego County in the Utica market (as did former sister station WTVH in Syracuse for the rest of that DMA), when NBC affiliate WKTV's second digital subchannel became CBS' first full-time affiliate in that area.[15] However, WBNG continues to be shown in Otsego County (alongside WKTV-DT2) as a result of viewer complaints caused when the station was taken off Time Warner Cable systems on August 31, 2016. The WBNG signal was restored January 25, 2017.[16][17]

On February 1, 2021, Gray Television announced its intent to purchase Quincy Media for $925 million.[18] The acquisition was completed on August 2,[19] making WBNG-TV the second Gray property in New York State and a sister station to fellow CBS affiliate WWNY-TV in Watertown.

History

Founding and early years

WBNG-TV traces its origins to December 1, 1949, when it signed on as WNBF-TV, Binghamton's first , operating on VHF channel 12 from studios at the Arlington Hotel and a transmitter on Ingraham Hill Road. The station was licensed to Associates Inc., a also owning WNBF radio (AM 1290 and FM 98.1), with John C. as the principal stockholder; it began regular operations after experimental broadcasts earlier that year. From its launch, WNBF-TV served as a primary affiliate of while carrying secondary affiliations with , ABC, and the , allowing it to broadcast programming from all four major U.S. networks during an era when many smaller markets had limited options. This multi-network setup was common for early VHF stations in underserved areas, enabling comprehensive coverage despite the logistical challenges of scheduling. The station's initial programming mix included live network feeds, local live productions, film content, and kinescopes, supported by equipment such as RCA orthicon cameras and United Press news wire service for timely updates. In May 1955, Clark Associates sold WNBF-TV and its sister radio stations to Triangle Publications Inc. for $3 million, a transaction approved by the FCC that marked an early ownership transition while maintaining operational continuity under the new Philadelphia-based parent company. The DuMont affiliation ended in 1956 following the network's on August 6, after years of financial struggles and competition from established rivals. programming shifted away in November 1957 with the debut of WINR-TV (channel 40) as the market's dedicated affiliate, reducing WNBF-TV's secondary role. ABC followed suit in November 1962, when WBJA (channel 34) signed on as Binghamton's ABC outlet, leaving WNBF-TV as a full-time affiliate. During the 1950s, WNBF-TV emphasized local content to build viewership in the , featuring variety shows, public affairs discussions, and community events alongside network fare, all produced in modest studios equipped for live broadcasts and film projection. Early news efforts relied on wire services like United Press for bulletins and reports, fostering local journalism in a rapidly growing medium; the station operated from roughly 11 a.m. to midnight daily, gradually expanding hours and technical capabilities, including color network reception by the mid-1950s. These foundational years established WNBF-TV as a key information and entertainment hub for Binghamton and surrounding areas.

Ownership changes

In 1955, following its founding as WNBF-TV by Clark Associates in 1949, the station and its sister radio outlets were acquired by Philadelphia-based Publications for $3 million, integrating it into a portfolio that included other and properties. retained ownership until , during which the station operated as a key affiliate in the Binghamton market. That year, Triangle sold WNBF-TV along with two other television stations—WTAJ-TV in Altoona-Johnstown, , and WLYH-TV in —to the newly formed Gateway Communications for a total of $16 million, while divesting the WNBF radio stations separately to comply with FCC cross-ownership rules. As part of the transition, the station adopted the WBNG-TV call letters in late 1972 to avoid confusion with the retained WNBF radio branding, marking Gateway's entry into CBS-affiliated broadcasting with a focus on mid-sized markets. Gateway held the station until 2000, when SJL Broadcasting acquired its four television properties—including WBNG-TV, , WLYH-TV, and in Huntington-Charleston, —for $96 million, shifting ownership to a group emphasizing operational efficiencies and . Under SJL, WBNG-TV experienced staff reductions from approximately 100 to 58 employees over five years to align with this model, though it remained a cornerstone of the company's holdings. In April 2006, as SJL liquidated its broadcasting assets, Granite Broadcasting purchased WBNG-TV for $45 million, bolstering its portfolio of network affiliates and marking the station's integration into a minority-owned group that operated stations in 11 markets. The acquisition closed in July 2006, with Granite assuming full operational control and emphasizing and in Binghamton. Ownership shifted again in February 2014 when Quincy Newspapers announced a $191 million agreement to acquire WBNG-TV as part of a package including two other Granite stations ( in , and in ) and additional assets from Malara Broadcasting, expanding Quincy's reach to 23 stations across 14 markets upon closing in November 2015. This family-owned entity's stewardship focused on maintaining the station's affiliation while leveraging for efficiency. In February 2021, Gray Television agreed to buy —including WBNG-TV—for $925 million in cash, a deal that closed on August 2, 2021, incorporating the station into Gray's extensive network of 145 stations and enhancing its presence in the Northeast. Under Gray's ownership, leadership transitioned in 2025 with the appointment of Alexander Quince as General Manager effective October 13, succeeding longtime executive Bob Krummenacker and bringing over a decade of news management experience to oversee station operations.

Affiliation and programming shifts

Following its from WNBF-TV on , 1972, WBNG-TV established itself as a full-time affiliate serving the Binghamton market and surrounding areas, including as the default outlet for Elmira–Corning until 2009. In September 1998, WBNG launched the WB-affiliated cable channel WBXI through an agreement with 100+ Station Group and local cable providers, providing network programming to the region via cable as a supplement to the main signal. With the 2006 formation of The CW from the merger of The WB and UPN, WBXI transitioned to CW affiliation; by September 2007, its programming began simulcasting on WBNG's new digital subchannel 12.2 following the cable channel's closure, marking the station's entry into secondary network affiliations. Under Gray Television's ownership since 2021, WBNG's programming has evolved to emphasize lifestyle and entertainment syndication in the 2010s and beyond, featuring staples such as Judge Judy and Dr. Phil in daytime rotations until recent adjustments. In 2024, the CW+ subchannel (WBNG-DT2) updated its branding with a new logo aligned to The CW's network-wide rebrand to red-orange hues.

Digital transition

WBNG-TV initiated its digital broadcasting on VHF channel 7 in 2002, ahead of the national full-power transition. In late 2007, the station began simulcasting its primary CBS feed in high definition over its digital signal, allowing viewers with compatible equipment to access enhanced programming during the pre-transition phase. On June 12, 2009, as part of the nationwide digital television transition mandated by the Federal Communications Commission, WBNG-TV ceased analog operations on VHF channel 12 and continued exclusively on its digital signal at VHF channel 7, using virtual channel 12.1. This shift complied with the DTV Delay Act, which postponed the original February 17 deadline to ensure broader consumer readiness. During the 2017 broadcast incentive auction and subsequent , WBNG-TV relocated its digital operations from VHF channel 7 to VHF channel 8 on July 3, 2020, to free up for services. The process involved coordination with nearby stations, such as WICZ-TV swapping to channel 7, and resulted in minimal viewer disruption in the Binghamton due to prior notifications and antenna adjustments. This transition further enabled the station to maintain and expand its subchannel offerings without interrupting core service.

Market reach

Primary service area

WBNG-TV's primary service area encompasses the Binghamton Designated Market Area (DMA), which Nielsen ranks 162nd nationally for the 2024–2025 television season. This DMA covers four counties in New York's : Broome, Chenango, Delaware, and Tioga. The station's over-the-air signal extends into adjacent northern counties, enabling service across the Eastern region straddling the New York–Pennsylvania border. The market includes roughly 133,000 television households and a population of approximately 294,000 individuals aged 12 and older. Major population centers within the core area are Binghamton (the station's and largest city, with about 47,000 residents), Johnson City, and Endicott, collectively known as the Triple Cities, along with peripheral reach into the fringes of Ithaca and Elmira. Demographics reflect a blend of rural and suburban communities, with a predominantly (non-Hispanic) population, alongside smaller shares of (about 7%) and (5%) residents; the area shows robust engagement with and sports content typical of midsize markets. Licensed by the (FCC) to , WBNG-TV functions as the primary throughout this core territory.

Out-of-market distribution

WBNG-TV has historically experienced fluctuations in its cable carriage outside the core Binghamton designated market area (DMA). In the Elmira-Corning region, the station was available on Time Warner Cable systems until late 2008, when it was removed following Lilly Broadcasting's agreement to add a CBS subchannel on WENY-TV, effectively displacing WBNG as the local CBS provider in that market. Further north in Otsego County, WBNG faced a temporary dropout from Charter Communications (formerly Time Warner Cable/Spectrum) lineups several months prior to January 2017, replaced by another affiliate amid viewer complaints. The station was restored effective January 25, 2017, regaining access for local subscribers in areas like Oneonta. On satellite platforms, WBNG is designated as the local CBS affiliate for extended portions of its market on both and , enabling carriage in fringe areas beyond the primary DMA. However, availability of its CW subchannel remains limited on these providers due to selective packaging. A 2018 carriage dispute with , which blacked out the station for viewers, was resolved in October of that year, restoring full access under a new agreement. The station's signals extend into portions of northern and , where it is carried on select cable systems pursuant to FCC rules that have mediated past disputes with competing outlets. As of 2025, the main feed achieves broad penetration in these outlying areas through ongoing provider agreements, while subchannels like and exhibit variable inclusion depending on the operator.
