RNN-TV history
RNN-TV company history timeline
But WRNN decided the time had come for the station to target New York City, the first time a station on channel 62 served the entire New York City area since W62AA left the air in 1983, albeit this time for cable subscribers.
Channel 62 returned to the air from Kingston on December 15, 1985 as WTZA. It was formatted as an independent station serving the Mid-Hudson region of New York State.
In 1993, Swyer and his group sold the station to Harrison, New York businessman Richard French Jr.
In October 1995, the call letters were changed to WRNN-TV, and the station shifted into a news-heavy operation.
Budgetary concerns led to a reduction of news programming in 1999, to weekday evenings only.
WRNN opened a new main studio facility in the village of Rye Brook in 2005, though it has retained its facilities in Kingston and Manhattan.
