A low-power television station with 10 channels of digital video and audio programming is expected to sign on this summer in Cobleskill.
WYBN/Channel 14 is being constructed by Cable Ad Net New York, a Dutchess County-based producer of cable advertising. The 15 kilowatt-station will reach over-the-air viewers in parts of Albany, Columbia, Greene, Schoharie, Rensselaer and Schenectady counties. It also will be a “must carry” on several small cable systems in these counties, said Dan Viles, president of Cable Ad Net.
WYBN’s 10 digital channels will include five video streams and five audio streams.
The television channels will include American One TV, a general entertainment and sports network; Mexi-Canal, Hispanic television originating in Mexico; Tuff TV, a male-oriented network with classic television shows, mixed martial arts and talk shows; and AMG TV, which carries movies, how-to shows, children’s programming and syndicated fare.
The audio streams will include Hispanic programming, classic American music and tourism reports.
Viles hopes to have WYBN, which has been under development for two years, on the air by the end of July. It will be the first new station to enter the greater Albany, N.Y., market since WNYA/Channel 51 debuted in 2003.
Although licensed to Cobleskill, in Schoharie County, the station will broadcast from a tower in Greene County and share office space with Cable Ad Net in Red Hook.
