 As a UPN affiliate, the station pair was added to Time Warner Cable's Watertown lineup in July 2002.The stations lost the UPN affiliation to WNYF-CA in October 2002, where it only was to be a secondary affiliation for the low-powered Fox affiliate.The newly independent WLOT stations were dropped from cable soon thereafter, as the continuing cost to rent the "cable 97" slot from Time Warner proved prohibitive.
