Repeaters
In addition to its main signals, WNYT operates five additional repeaters. Until the early-1990s, it maintained a translator in Kingston. This was first located on channel 63 but moved to channel 36 after the launch of WTZA in 1985. The translators were all built because WNYT's analog signal was not as strong as the other major stations in the Capital District (see below). All stations have since been converted from analog to digital even though the law currently exempts low-power repeaters to convert. Channels 18 and 45 are licensed under the WNYT call sign.
Call letters | Channel | City of license | Transmitter location | Note |

W21CP-D | 21 | Gloversville | southwest of town center | until 2006, it had the call letters W07AJ but changed after WXXA-DT began broadcasting on digital channel 7 |
