'WLNY-TV 55' is an Independent Television station primarily serving the Long Island section of New York, licensed to Riverhead, NY, with studios in Melville. TV 55 signed on the air in 1985 under the call letters WLIG. The calls were changed in the mid 1990s to WLNY. The station currently carries mostly old movies and shows distributed by King World. They are also seen on cable in New York City, parts of New York state, and New Jersey, however, those areas see a seperate feed due to SyndEx laws (Think the old WOR EMI Service and Superstation WGN), except for subscribers in the metro New York City market who receive the station on DirecTV and DishNetwork, who receive the same clean feed as those on Long Island.
