Although the ABC affiliate was the subordinate entity, WPNY and WFXV were consolidated into WUTR's Deerfield studios. In 2006, The WB and UPN merged into one network called The CW Television Network. Several weeks later, Fox announced the establishment of another network called MyNetworkTV, for the benefit of those UPN or WB affiliates that did not earn a CW affiliation. Since "WBU", the cable-only WB affiliate operated by NBC affiliate WKTV through The WB 100+, was the default choice to take the CW affiliation, WPNY-LP chose to associate with MyNetworkTV, and promptly did so on September 5, 2006. In addition to MyNetworkTV programming, syndicated programming on WPNY-LP includes "Dish Nation", "The Jerry Springer Show", "Judge Mathis" and "Divorce Court" among others. It also simulcasts some New York Yankees games produced by the YES Network for WPIX in New York City. After WUTR's sale to Mission Broadcasting, speculation began circulating that Nexstar would establish a combined news department for WUTR, WFXV and WPNY in order to take on longtime dominant WKTV. Progress was not made until March 31, 2011 when the company announced it would launch a news operation for the three stations by mid-September. Nexstar invested $1 million for new equipment and the hiring of twelve employees. "Eyewitness News at 6", seen weeknights at 6:00 p.m. on WUTR, was repeated at 7:00 p.m. on WPNY from September 2011 to September 2017. It was the only offering of local news in its time slot, since there was no broadcast seen on WKTV. After this rebroadcast was quietly canceled, there was no local news programming airing on WPNY.
