NYC TV (sometimes branded in lowercase text as ''nyctv'') is a group of government-access television (GATV) broadcast and cable TV channels operated by NYC Media Group, a division of the New York City Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NYC Department of Information Technology & Telecommunications )〕 NYC TV is considered to be the catalyst behind the trend in "localism" in modern broadcast television in the United States. Its main over-the-air broadcast channel, WNYE-TV (channel 25), reaches the New York City metropolitan area, which includes Nassau, Orange, Putnam, Suffolk and Westchester counties in New York state as well as portions of New Jersey and Connecticut. WNYE-TV is carried on all area cable and satellite systems. NYC TV's main broadcast signal, WNYE-TV, reaches 7.43 million households (approximately 20 million people) in the New York City market, thus making NYC TV the fifth largest local television station in the United States.〔http://www.iep.gmu.edu/documents/HazlettJEP2008.pdf "Optimal Abolition of FCC Spectrum Allocation" Journal of Economic Perspectives—Volume 22, Number 1—Winter 2008—Pages 103–128〕 The main broadcast station is seen in the New York City area on channel 25 on all cable and satellite systems with the exception of Cablevision, where it is seen on channel 22. NYC TV is also the name given to five additional cable channels that air on Time Warner, Cablevision, Verizon Fios and RCN systems in the five boroughs of New York City.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NYC Media )〕 The station has recently begun operating several digital multicast sub-channels, also known as DTV channels. NYC-DT1 is a clone of the analog channel, NYC-DT2 is a clone of its cable only traffic and weather channel known "City Drive Live" and NYC-DT3, also being branded as NYCTV-HD, is expected to launch in May, 2009, and will be an all High-Definition version of the primary analog channel. NYCTV has been recognized with 160 New York Emmy nominations and 42 New York Emmy Awards.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Press Release from New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg )〕 ==History== In 2003, co-founders Seth Unger and Arick Wierson - both aides to Mayor of New York City Michael Bloomberg - launched NYC-TV, which replaced "Crosswalks Television," the name of the previous network.〔("NYC TV has replaced Crosswalks Television as the city's official television network" Metro Briefing: New York, June 25, 2003 )〕〔 〕 In 2005, NYC TV expanded when it acquired WNYE-TV along with the radio station WNYE-FM. The new group was called NYC Media Group. The local cable channels programmed by NYC TV provide coverage of a diverse array of programming formats ranging from horse-racing (off-track betting) on channel 71, local politics and government news on channel 74, traffic and weather on channel 72 and 93, and ethnic/international programming on channel 73. NYC TV has received attention as an innovator in municipal broadcasting. Since its inception, NYC TV has been nominated for 160 New York Emmy Awards, winning 42.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NYC.gov )〕 It has also won 42 Telly Awards and 4 Promax Awards and was recently nominated for 4 Webby Awards.〔 Cities such as Seoul, Paris, Rio de Janeiro, and Los Angeles have expressed interest in replicating the station's success. On September 24, 2007 Mayor Bloomberg held a press conference〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Mayor Announces NYCTV OD )〕 to introduce ''NYC TV On Demand'', a partnership with online video platform Brightcove to offer on demand programming online. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nyctv」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
