WSBK-TV

WSBK-TV is a MyNetworkTV television station for eastern Massachusetts, United States and southern New Hampshire that is licensed to Boston. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 39 (previously 38) from a transmitter along the Needham and Wellesley town line southwest of the MA 9 and I-95 / MA 128 interchange. Owned by the CBS Corporation, the station is sister to CBS owned-and-operated affiliate WBZ-TV. The two share studios on Soldiers Field Road in the Brighton section of Boston. Syndicated programming on WSBK includes: Frasier, The King of Queens, That '70s Show and Judge Joe Brown.

It is considered an alternate CBS affiliate and as such takes on responsibility of airing programming from the network whenever WBZ-TV cannot do so. Examples of this practice include during the Boston Marathon, and more recently in 2009, during New England Patriots pre-season games as well as the passing of Senator Ted Kennedy and his sister Eunice Kennedy Shriver. The station is also seen in Canada to subscribers of the Bell TV and Shaw Direct satellite services as well as subscribers of Cogeco Cable, Shaw Cable, Rogers Cable, Vidéotron, Telus TV and Persona. WSBK is available throughout the United States on Dish Network direct broadcast satellite as part of a Superstation package.
