TV Listings in Poughkeepsie Newspaper?

K

Guest
I took a look at the TV page of Saturday's "Poughkeepsie Journal" and noticed these listings included among the ones from New York City and Albany/Schenectady:

NY 06- Is this some type of sports station?
W42AE- Listings matched those of WMHT-TV (PBS) channel 17 from Schenectady. Is this a translator station of sorts?
WRNN- Listed as channel 48. Is that for WRNN-DT (digital)?

"Of sorts" is right -- W42AE, owned by Dutchess Community College, shows several hours of telecourses each week during the school year. After hours and during holidays, WMHT is shown instead.

WRNN- Listed as channel 48. Is that for WRNN-DT (digital)?

Yes, and it's the only signal from WRNN now; they switched their analog channel 62 signal off in 2004.
 
I'm not sure on NY 06 - Back in the late 90s, 6 on the Hudson Valley cable systems was local news / access. They had a local newscast, which I thought was shuttered back a bit...
