WNYW, channel 5, is the flagship television station of the News Corporation-owned Fox Broadcasting Company, located in New York City. The station's transmitter is atop the Empire State Building, and its studio facilities are in the Yorkville section of Manhattan. WNYW is a sister station to Secaucus, New Jersey-based WWOR-TV (channel 9), the New York area's MyNetworkTV affiliate.
In the few areas of the eastern United States where viewers cannot receive Fox network programs over-the-air, WNYW is available on satellite via Dish Network and DirecTV, which also provides coverage of the station to Latin American countries and on JetBlue's LiveTV inflight entertainment system. WNYW is also available on cable in the Caribbean.

History
The station is home to one of America's longest-running primetime local newscasts. The 10 O'Clock News (now Fox 5 News at Ten) premiered on March 13, 1967, as New York's first primetime newscast. The news was home to the world-famous announcement: "It's 10PM... Do you know where your children are?" was used in this program first, and while its exact origins are unknown , Tom Gregory was one of the first people to say this famous line. Other television stations in the country have adopted this for their own 10 p.m. slots. Celebrities were often used in the 1980s to read the slogan.
WNYW also aired a 7:00 p.m. newscast from 1987 to 1993, known as Fox News at Seven.
In August 1988, WNYW launched Good Day New York, a program comparable to the Today Show, Good Morning America or The Early Show. In 1991 a new and eventually very popular music package was composed for the show by Edd Kalehoff, a New York composer who is best known for composing the themes and music cues for several game shows, notably The Price is Right.
Since the Fox takeover, WNYW's newscasts have become more tabloid in style and has been fodder for jokes, even to the point of being parodied on Saturday Night Live, and the consumer reporting segment The Problem Solvers receiving the same treatment on The Daily Show.
WNYW was portrayed in an episode of the Fox animated comedy Futurama, titled "When Aliens Attack", in which the station was accidentally knocked off the air by Philip J. Fry. That resulted in angry Omicron Perseins invading Earth and demanding to see the end of a program which had been cut off for them.
In 2002, WNYW added a 90-minute block of newscasts from 5 to 6:30 p.m on weekdays, giving the station just under 40 hours of local news per week, which is the most of any television station in New York City. In 2004, two events occurred involving the WNYW news department. Longtime anchor John Roland, a 35-year veteran of channel 5, retired from the station on June 4, 2004. Len Cannon, a former NBC News correspondent who had joined WNYW as a reporter and anchor some time earlier, was initially named as Roland's replacement. Then, several months later, veteran New York City anchorman Ernie Anastos signed a multi-year contract with WNYW, despite the fact that he was at the time anchoring at WCBS-TV. The signing would displace Cannon as lead anchor, and shortly after it was announced, he asked for, and was granted, a release from contractual obligations with the station. Anastos joined WNYW in July 2005, and Cannon joined KHOU-TV in Houston as its lead anchor in the spring of 2006.
In areas of New Jersey where the New York and Philadelphia markets overlap, both WNYW and sister station WWOR-TV share resources with Philadelphia sister station WTXF-TV. The stations share reporters for these stories.
On April 3, 2006, WNYW revamped their entire on-air appearance with a new set, new music, new graphics, and a new logo (first used by WTVT in Tampa). The new graphics and logo package will eventually be standardized for all of News Corp.'s Fox stations. Channel 5 is also one of the first Fox owned-and-operated stations to launch a MyFox powered website, which features video, more detailed news, and new community features such as blogs and picture galleries.
