WRGB (fictional)

WRGB, virtual and VHF digital channel 6, is a CBS-owned-and-operated television station licensed to Schenectady, New York, United States and serving New York's Capital District (Albany–Schenectady–Troy) as well as Berkshire County, Massachusetts. The station is owned by the CBS Television Stations subsidiary of ViacomCBS, as part of a duopoly with CW affiliate WCWN (channel 45, also licensed to Schenectady). The two stations share studios on Balltown Road in Niskayuna, New York (with a Schenectady postal address); WRGB's transmitter is located on the Helderberg Escarpment west of New Salem, a hamlet of New Scotland. WCWN additionally carries a simulcast of WRGB's main channel in 720p high definition on subchannel 45.3 for the convenience of UHF viewers who have trouble receiving WRGB's VHF signal.

It began broadcasting experimentally in early 1928, with the first daily programs being broadcast later that year. It later became one of a handful of television stations licensed for commercial broadcasting operation before the end of World War II.

The station launched the on-camera careers of TV chefs Art "Mr. Food" Ginsburg in the mid-1970s; and of Rachael Ray, who launched her "30 Minute Meals" segment on WRGB's newscasts in the mid-1990s.

In 2018, Sinclair Broadcast Group traded WRGB and WCWN and their Austin, Texas sister station KEYE-TV to CBS Television Stations in exchange for Gainesville, Florida station WGFL, the smallest station in CBS' O&O portfolio. This created the second and third "Big Four" O&Os in the Capital District, after ABC owned-and-operated station and secondary East Coast flagship WTEN.
