History
W26CE signed on as W19CF on channel 19 on September 1, 1987. It was owned by Fordham University's WFUV. In recent years, the station was sold to current owner Atlantic Coast Communications. After the sale was finalized, the audio format was taken off the air. The station is currently on the air with a test pattern without audio being played to fulfill the requirements from time to time. W26CE was not required to transition to digital broadcasting in 2009 as it not a full-power television station.
