WSPX-TV, Ion Television in Syracuse, New York, is owned by ION Media Networks.
WSPX-TV broadcasts on digital channel 15. The channel 15 frequency is short-spaced to Belleville, Ontario's CBLFT and was approved on the condition that effective radiated power of the US station not exceed 100 kW.
According to WSPX-TV, an early reduction in analogue power and start of digital operation needed to take place months in advance of the February 17, 2009 FCC digital transition deadline to ensure that channel 15's antenna could be installed on the top of the tower in place of the existing channel 56 antenna before the onset of winter. UHF 56 was then left operational from a secondary, side-mounted antenna at a 25% reduction in coverage area until analogue shut-off.
As of November 2013, WSPX-TV features ION, Qubo, ION Life, ION Shop (Informercials, QVC, and HSN programming.
WSPX-TV has been operating since November 24, 1998.
