What are Telemundo's Strongest Affiliates?

Well, here's another thread about strong affiliates....

Among Telemundo, hands down would go to KVEA/Los Angeles, WSNS/Chicago and WKAQ/San Juan
 
Strongest: WNJU-47/NYC.

Weakest: WRDM-LP-50/WDMR-LP-51 Hartford/Springfield. Overnights are LMA'd to Jewelry Television. Their local 6PM Newscast flopped. And this was before Univision came to town. Runner up to the weakest would have to be WNEU-60/Machester-Boston and its simulcast partner WTMU-LP32 (not sure what channel WTMU is now). WNEU/WTMU is one of the strangest arrangements. WNEU is owned by NBC Universal (Telemundo's parent company), but they LMA it to ZGS Communication, which owned and operated WTMU before NBC-U bought WNEU. ZGS owns the other Telemundo affiliates in New England - WRDM/WDMR (Springfield Hartford), and WRIW? (Priovidence).

I wonder why Telemundo has not affiliated with WSAH, which would give them a bigger presence in the state of Connecticut and eastern Long Island. Technically, it's considered a New York-area station but no one in the city can really receive it. I don't think that WNJU needs any protection, correct me if I'm wrong.
