26 and 35 seem to be low power stations with various interview shows,
music video shows supported by premium phone numbers, brokered ethnic
and religious shows, et alia.

One interesting thing about WWOR - it is now owned by News Corp.
(Murdoch who also owns Fox and WNYW) and both stations have studios in
the old Trans Lux Theater (205 E. 67 St.)

Back when RKO/General was having trouble with the FCC, Congress passed
a law requiring the FCC to renew the license of any commercial VHF
station that moved to New Jersey, and RKO/General moved channel 9's
license to Secaucus, NJ, near the Meadowlands. (Eventually, the FCC
made General Tire get rid of ALL its broadcast facilities because it
had lied to the FCC about secret contracts requiring GT dealers to
advertise with RKO/General stations.)

So, after all that noise about NJ getting a commercial VHF TV station,
WWOR may still have a license marked Secaucus but they're on Third
Ave. & 67 St. in Manhattan. (WNET, 13, PBS is licensed to Newark; its
commercial predecessor, WAAT, was. Its facilities are, however, in
NYC. The Spanish stations on 41 and 47 are licensed to NJ.)

However, the WWOR Secaucus facility is now used by...the News
Corp.-owned UPN station in Baltimore. (upn24.tv)
