You got them. For the record, 2 - WCBS, 4 - WNBC, 5 - DuMont then Independent, 7 -- WABC, 9 -- WOR Independent, Broadcast the Brooklyn Dodger games, 11- WPIX, Independent Broadcast The Yankees and NY Giants games, 13 Independent, then PBS. For some reason, can't remember the original call letters for 5 and 13.olds442jetaway wrote: ↑Sat Jul 10, 2021 3:32 pmI’m trying to remember the 7 Ny stations. Were they 2,4,5,7,9,11,13?

On a good day I could pull in channel 9 in Ct. but it was usually snowy. We watch a lot of 11 for sports.

While UHF began in the 50s, few TVs could access those channels. Our TV could not receive UHF so I never watched any of those stations until much later.advantage playe wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 5:58 amalso UHF which was like short wave radio. ok ok now you know I am older than the hills !olds442jetaway wrote: ↑Sat Jul 10, 2021 3:32 pmI’m trying to remember the 7 Ny stations.
