WNLO is the CW-affiliated television station for Western New York licensed to Buffalo. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 32 from a transmitter on the eastern side of Grand Island. However, master control and some internal operations for both are based at hub facilities within WISH-TV's North Meridian Street studios in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The station can also be seen in standard definition on Time Warner Cable channel 11, Verizon FiOS channel 23, and in Southern Ontario on Rogers Cable digital channel 166. The over the air high definition signal is carried on Time Warner Cable channel 711 and Verizon FiOS channel 523. Owned by the LIN TV Corporation, WNLO is sister to CBS affiliate WIVB and the two share studios on Elmwood Avenue in Buffalo.
Syndicated programming on WNLO includes: The Office, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and COPS. It can be considered an alternate CBS affiliate because it simulcasts Up to the Minute and repeats CBS Morning News from WIVB. The station is also responsible for airing CBS programs when WIVB is unable or otherwise chooses not to do so due to local or syndicated programming commitments.
