Note; These were the only three stations on the air in New York in the winter of 1948. Four more had construction permits and were at varying stages of completion. Next to sign on in the spring of 1948 would be WATV (ch. 13, independent, studio and transmitter in Newark) followed by WPIX (ch. 11, independent, studio, office and first transmitter at the headquarters of its owner, the New York Daily News). Next in August of 1948 came ABC O&O WJZ-TV (ch. 7), and finally in 1949, WOR-TV (ch. 9, independent, studio on Broadway, first transmitter in New Jersey).
WNBT had studios at 30 Rock and transmitter on the Empire State Building from the start in 1941--and while its callsign is now WNBC, it still does today. WCBS-TV moved its antenna from the Chrysler Building to ESB in 1951, while WABD, WPIX and WJZ-TV made the move from other locations around Manhattan to the Empire State Building mast at the same time. WATV and WOR-TV moved their main transmitters to ESB in 1953.
