WNYS-TV (channel 43) was a television station in Syracuse, New York, United States, which operated from 1989 to 2020. In its latter years, it was owned by Northwest Broadcasting as an affiliate of MyNetworkTV; it had common ownership with Fox affiliate WSYT (channel 68). WNYS-TV's operations were housed at WSYT's studio facilities on James Street/NY 290 in Syracuse's Near Northeast section; the station's transmitter was located near Maple Grove, a hamlet of Otisco, New York.
WNYS-TV went off the air on January 14, 2020, ahead of the surrender of its license as a condition of Apollo Global Management's 2019 acquisition of Northwest Broadcasting.[1] At that time, the station's programming continued as subchannels of WSYT, continuing to use virtual channel 43. What was WNYS-TV's primary subchannel continues under the WSYT license as "My 43".
