WCTN

WCTN is an ABC affiliate. It broadcasts on channel 11 and serves the Coast City, NY area.

As WMXN-TV (1952-1974)
WCTN signed on as WMXN-TV on November 1952 as a niche station for the Coast City market, On day one, the station didn't even have programming, only showing a test card and nothing else. Another factor that made the station such a niche one, was that while the signal covered the entirety of Coast City, the transmitters themselves were low-powered, leading to signal reception that would either fluctuate or function normally, depending on the distance one's antenna is. It did pioneer color television in the market when none of the stations were using it. However, it was also another niche in '50s, with Color TV sets being wildly expensive at the time. It finally started to gain traction in the '70s with the rise in success for the ABC television network (which the station is affiliated with), this allowed WMXN to upgrade their transmitters from Low-Power to High-Power.

As WCTN-TV (1974-Present)
One other big change was when WMXN changed its call-sign to WCTN (W Coast CiTy New York) on April 12, 1974, the following year, WCTN debuted "The Good Lookin' 11" branding (later shortened to "Good Lookin' 11)
