WTEN, channel 10, is an ABC-affiliated television station licensed to Albany, New York, USA. WTEN is owned by Irving, Texas-based Nexstar Media Group, and operates Fox affiliate WXXA-TV (channel 23, owned by Shield Media, LLC) through joint sales and shared services agreements. The two outlets share studios in the Bishop's Gate section of Albany; WTEN's transmitter in located in Voorheesville, New York.
WCDC-TV, channel 19 in Adams, Massachusetts, operates as a full-time satellite of WTEN. This station broadcasts from a transmitter on Mount Greylock, the highest peak in Massachusetts. WCDC-TV's signal covers the western half of Massachusetts, and portions of Vermont, Connecticut, and New Hampshire.
WTEN began broadcasting on October 14, 1953 as WROW-TV on UHF channel 41 from a temporary transmitter in Herkimer, New York, limiting the signal to the immediate area. The station went to full power and installed a permanent antenna tower next to the studio a few months later. WROW-TV was founded by Hudson Valley Broadcasting Company, operating alongside WROW radio (590 AM). The two stations shared space inside a former retirement home for nuns on a farm dirt road in the town of North Greenbush near Troy. WROW-TV carried the Capital District's ABC Television Network affiliation at its launch.
