WXTV known on-air as "Univisión 41" is an owned and operated Univisión station that serves the New York City area. Located on UHF channel 41 (digital channel 40) , its city of license is Paterson, New Jersey while its studios are in Teaneck, New Jersey.

WXTV is known for having newscasts whose ratings frequently rival its english-speaking counterparts. One of the station's news anchors, Rafael Pineda has held that position since 1972. This gives him the distinction of being the longest running active news anchor for a New York City television station.

[edit] History

WXTV first began broadcasting on August 4, 1968 as an English and Spanish-language television station. In 1970, the station became all-Spanish language SIN-TV and that same year, they began a news source. By 1984, SIN-TV went bankrupt and once again became an independent Spanish-language station. This lasted until the start of Univision in 1988.

The September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center did not affect WXTV's over-the-air signal, as they were broadcasting from the Empire State Building. In fact, the news anchors gave information and updates in English as well as Spanish on the attacks for the benefit of viewers without cable that lost access to the stations with transmitters at the WTC.
