WLOT-LP channel 46 was a 19kW low-power Class A television station in Watertown, New York. It was Watertown's affiliate for the now-defunct UPN network, as well as the America One network, and was rebroadcast on co-owned WBQZ-LP channel 34, in the area to the northwest of Watertown. The stations are now silent. == History == WLOT and WBQZ were owned by Anthony DiMarcantonio. Originally branded as "PS66", W66CH took the WLOT-LP callsign in November 1999 and launched a website (newmediacommunications.com, now defunct) in September 2000.〔http://lists.bostonradio.org/bri/v04/msg02349.html〕 As a UPN affiliate, the station pair was added to Time Warner Cable's Watertown lineup in July 2002.〔http://www.fybush.com/NERW/020715/nerw.html〕 The stations lost the UPN affiliation to WNYF-CA in October 2002,〔http://www.fybush.com/nerw-021001.html〕 where it only was to be a secondary affiliation for the low-powered Fox affiliate. The newly independent WLOT stations were dropped from cable soon thereafter, as the continuing cost to rent the "cable 97" slot from Time Warner proved prohibitive.〔http://www.fybush.com/nerw-021118.html〕 Both stations were listed for sale in January 2003, at one point appearing on eBay with a $950,000 asking price.〔(Northeast Radio Watch, Jan 2003 )〕 An acquisition by Clear Channel Communications in September 2003〔http://www.fybush.com/nerw-030609.html〕 at a price of $180000〔(Broadcasting & Cable, 29-SEP-03 )〕 ultimately fell through,〔http://www.fybush.com/nerw-030922.html〕 leaving DiMarcantonio to attempt to find individual investors to buy equity in the stations. Clear Channel at that time owned WWTI (ABC 50 Watertown), now Newport Television. 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「WLOT-LP」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
