Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''WNDT-CD''', (channel 14) is a [[Class A television service|class A]] [[low-power broadcasting#Television|low–power]], [[First Nations Experience]]-[[network affiliate|affiliated]] [[television station]], [[City of license|licensed]] to [[New York City|New York, New York]]. Owned by The WNET Group (formerly known as the Educational Broadcasting Corporation and later as WNET.org), it is [[sister station|sister]] to the city's two [[PBS]] [[network affiliate#Member stations|member stations]]—[[Newark, New Jersey]]-licensed [[WNET]] (channel 13) and [[Garden City, New York]]-licensed [[WLIW (TV)|WLIW]] (channel 21)—and Class A station [[WMBQ-CD]] (channel 46).

Under a [[frequency sharing|channel sharing]] arrangement, WNDT-CD and WMBQ-CD share transmitter facilities with WNET at [[One World Trade Center]]. Despite WNDT-CD and WMBQ-CD legally holding [[low-power broadcasting#Television|low-power]] class A licenses, they transmit using WNET's full-power spectrum. This ensures complete reception across the New York City [[media market|television market]].

In addition to FNX programming, WNDT-CD airs some news and public affairs shows from WNET and [[NJ PBS]].

==History==
===W73AP and W17AC (1973–1992)===
The station was [[sign-on and sign-off|signed on]] over [[ultra high frequency|UHF]] channel 73 in 1973 by its original owner, [[WPIX|WPIX, Inc.]], as W73AP. It was one of multiple television [[Broadcast relay station#Broadcast translators|broadcast translators]] in New York City that operated at the upper end of the UHF television band in order to provide reliable coverage to sections of New York City where reception was compromised by the construction of the [[World Trade Center (1973–2001)|World Trade Center]]. It relayed WPIX, which operates over VHF channel 11.

Originally, most of the New York City television stations operated their main transmitters from the [[Empire State Building]]. However, reliable reception was compromised for some viewers once the majority of the World Trade Center was constructed, thus necessitating the use of the UHF translators. In response, nearly all of the TV stations, including WPIX, relocated to the North Tower of the World Trade Center in 1975.

In 1982, UHF channels 70 through 83 were decommissioned for use as television stations, and the frequencies were reassigned for the [[Advanced Mobile Phone System]] (AMPS), an analog mobile phone system standard developed by [[Bell Labs]] that was officially introduced in the Americas in 1983. TV stations operating on these channels were either displaced to in-core broadcast channels, sold, or deleted.

WPIX filed for displacement around this time, and the station's translator was reallocated to channel 17 with the new alpha-numeric [[call signs in North America|call sign]] W17AC, reflecting the station's new channel number. The station continued to operate as a relay for WPIX.

More than a year after WPIX became a [[Tribune Broadcasting]] station outright in 1991 and expanded coverage in New York City, [[New Jersey]] and [[Long Island]] over the air and through cable, it was unnecessary to keep channel 17 as a backup translator. WPIX sold channel 17 to Trimtab Productions, Inc., in 1992, and the station went off the air shortly thereafter.

===W17BM (1992–1997)===
On November 9, 1992, the call sign was changed to W17BM, reflecting the station's transfer of ownership. Empire Broadcasting at that point became the operator through Trimtab Productions. It was then programmed as an affiliate of [[The Box (American TV channel)|The Box]], airing music videos. In 1995, the station branded as KTV airing [[Korean Broadcasting System|KBS]] Korean programming along with The Box during the day and on weekends.

===WEBR-LP (1997–2001)===
On April 22, 1997, the call-sign was changed to WEBR-LP, which stands for Empire BRoadcasting. Trimtab Productions and Empire Broadcasting were later sold to K Licensee, Inc., the owner of NY Radio Korea, who programmed the station as the affiliate of KBS with Korean programming. K Licensee, Inc., later changed its corporate name to K Media, Inc. In 1997, The Box was removed and it ran Korean programming full-time. Over the years it added news programming called KTV news and 1 hour radio public affairs each week along with foreign news like YTN, which was added later that year. Also, community a calendar was added during weeknights after the local news programming ended. During the day, it aired most of the KBS programming along with a 30-minute children's program from that station in [[Korean language|Korean]].

===WEBR-CA (2001–2009)===
On March 5, 2001, the call-sign suffix was changed to WEBR-CA, reflecting the station's new Class A status. Korean programming and KBS were broadcast from 5 p.m. to 1 p.m., while HSN Spanish ran from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and on weekends. On September 11, 2001, the affiliate temporarily switched to [[CNN]], which aired news coverage as a backup after the [[September 11 attacks|planes]] hit the main transmitter on the north tower. In 2002, [[HSN]] Spanish was replaced with the Korean shopping channel KNH. The format stayed the same. Later that year, it ran from 1 a.m. to 7 a.m. This lasted until mid-2005, when the programming was temporarily changed back to KBS along with Korean programming. GCN (Global Christian Network) programming began on September 1, 2005. At that time, it aired three hours of repeated programming for six weeks. Some of the programming came from out-of-market religious ministries such as sermons by Korean pastor [[Jaerock Lee]], ''Quick Study'', ''Day Of Discovery'', and some of the promo programming throughout most of the day for a couple of weeks. Children's programming was added on Saturdays from 7 to 10 a.m. and from 8 to 10 p.m. to fill most of the gaps. Also, testimony concerts aired each week on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Additional programming was added in multiple languages on October 10, 2005. After the transition, some of the promos were dropped and more religious programming was added. Children's programming was extended to one hour each day and 2 hours during the morning and evenings on weekends. The following year, religious news programming was added from CBN along with Worship Network music videos. Later that year, movies were added each week.

===WEBR-CD (2009–2018)===
[[File:WEBR CD OTA.png|thumb|Logo as WEBR-CD]]
On September 16, 2009, the call sign was changed to WEBR-CD. The religious format stayed mostly the same except the station ID was classified as WEBR 17 New York, while WEBR-CD 17 was only used on 17.2, re-branding as KTV.

As a condition for its continued operation on Channel 17, WEBR-CD cannot cause harmful interference to operations on Channel 16, as frequencies on that channel are utilized for public safety communications systems within New York City. The station has an agreement with the New York Metropolitan Advisory Committee (NYMAC) that requires any operation on Channel 17 to be reduced or ceased should any interference occur to the public safety operations. Any proposed modifications to the respective operations by either the NYMAC or Channel 17 must be made known to the other party, and responses from the other party must be included within such public filings.

WEBR-CD operates at significantly less wattage than its analog predecessor. It also operates with a stringent mask filter, which reduces emissions so the channel 17 signal will not exceed -123 DBM within the NYMAC assigned spectrum.

On March 20, 2012, K Licensee Inc., agreed to sell WEBR-CD to [[OTA Broadcasting]], a company controlled by [[Michael Dell]]'s [[MSD Capital]], for $6.6 million. On April 30, 2012, the license was officially transferred.<ref>[http://rbr.com/ota-looks-east-with-big-apple-class-a-acquisition/ OTA looks east with Big Apple Class A acquisition] from ''RBR'' March 20, 2012</ref> The deal closed on June 15, 2012.<ref>[https://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/cdbsmenu.hts?context=25&appn=101504604&formid=905&fac_num=67866 Consummation Notice]</ref> Prior to the transfer of ownership of OTA Broadcasting, the GCN format stayed the same for a couple of months before being taken off the air in 2013. With GCN moving to sub channel 17.3, another format was added and it is currently airing [[infomercial]]s. Later in 2013, it switched to the Universal Affiliates Network, which airs movies, local programming, religious programming, and mostly infomercials during the day. In 2015, WEBR moved to digital channel 49 for the first time in 32 years.

In the [[Federal Communications Commission]] (FCC)'s [[Spectrum reallocation#Broadcast incentive auction|incentive auction]], WEBR-CD sold its spectrum for $72,817,599 and indicated that it would enter into a post-auction channel sharing agreement.<ref name="fcc-webrsale">((cite web|title=FCC Broadcast Television Spectrum Incentive Auction Auction 1001 Winning Bids|url=http://transition.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2017/db0413/DA-17-314A2.pdf|publisher=[[Federal Communications Commission]]|access-date=November 13, 2017|date=April 4, 2017))</ref> On October 30, 2017, the station entered into a channel sharing agreement with [[WNET]] (channel 13);<ref name="fcc-webrwnetcsa">((cite web|title=Amendment to a Modification of a Licensed Facility for Digital Class A TV Station Application|url=https://enterpriseefiling.fcc.gov/dataentry/public/tv/draftCopy.html?displayType=html&appKey=25076f915f5883d0015f925646cc5de5&id=25076f915f5883d0015f925646cc5de5&goBack=N|website=Licensing and Management System|publisher=[[Federal Communications Commission]]|access-date=November 13, 2017|date=November 6, 2017))</ref> concurrently, OTA Broadcasting agreed to donate the WEBR license to WNET.<ref name="fcc-donationtownet">((cite web|title=APPLICATION FOR CONSENT TO ASSIGNMENT OF BROADCAST STATION CONSTRUCTION PERMIT OR LICENSE|url=http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/prefill_and_display.pl?Application_id=1770769&Service=DC&Form_id=314&Facility_id=67866|website=CDBS Public Access|publisher=[[Federal Communications Commission]]|access-date=November 13, 2017|date=November 9, 2017))</ref> The donation was completed on December 22, 2017;<ref name="fcc-donationtownetcompleted">((cite web|title=Consummation Notice|url=http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/prefill_and_display.pl?Application_id=1774924&Service=DC&Form_id=905&Facility_id=67866|website=CDBS Public Access|publisher=[[Federal Communications Commission]]|access-date=December 30, 2017|date=December 22, 2017))</ref> the next day, WEBR-CD was taken off the air while WNET prepared to move the shared transmitter to the [[One World Trade Center|World Trade Center]].<ref name="fcc-webroff">((cite web|title=Request for Silent Authority of a Digital Class A Station Application|url=https://enterpriseefiling.fcc.gov/dataentry/public/tv/draftCopy.html?displayType=html&appKey=25076f916097f7ff01609d971c7b19ef&id=25076f916097f7ff01609d971c7b19ef&goBack=N|website=Licensing and Management System|publisher=[[Federal Communications Commission]]|access-date=December 30, 2017|date=December 28, 2017))</ref>

===WNCT-CD and WNDT-CD (2018–present)===
The call letters were changed to WNCT-CD on March 15, 2018, and to WNDT-CD on March 22.<ref name="fcc-callsigns">((cite web|title=Call Sign History (WNDT-CD)|url=http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/call_hist.pl?Facility_id=67866&Callsign=WNDT-CD|website=CDBS Public Access|publisher=[[Federal Communications Commission]]|access-date=March 24, 2018))</ref> In November 2018, WNDT-CD returned on its new channel 13 as a non-commercial [[network affiliate]] of [[MHz Worldview]]. WNDT currently is seen on its virtual channel 14. In addition to multi-ethnic programming, it also [[simulcast]]s NJTV news along with the daily public affairs program ''Metrofocus''. Local programming children's shows air on Saturday afternoons from [[WNET]]. After MHz Networks announced in January that MHz Worldview will cease operations by March 1, 2020, in favor of digital [[Streaming media|streaming]], WNET switched its programming to [[First Nations Experience]].<ref>[https://mhznetworks.com/mhz-worldview-transitions-to-new-mhz-now-digital-streaming/ Here's How to Keep Watching MHz Worldview Programming After March 1st]</ref>

In late November 2009, WEBR added [[Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation|MBC-D]] after [[Newton, New Jersey]]-based WMBC-TV dropped it in favor of a new network, CGN, a Korean Christian network that was later moved to 63.2 and is now a Sinovision English affiliate. A couple of weeks later, NY Radio Korea, an aural service, was added on 17-4.

Effective March 1, 2011, MBC-D programming was discontinued on 17-2. Replacing it is a slide reading "KTV 17.2" with audio from NY Radio Korea – the same as is carried on 17-4 – albeit slightly louder. The PSIP information still identifies 17-2 as MBCD.

In summer 2011, a fourth subchannel, 17-3, was added as GCN, replacing primary channel 17.1 as [[infomercial]]s. However, as of January, the entire GCN programming was removed, leaving only two subchannels blank without audio. The KTV slide was discontinued with the KRB audio remaining. The same aural programming is replicated on 17-4. As of mid-2013, subchannels were removed, leaving only the main channel 17.1. Earlier that year, GCN programming returned to channel 17.3. Following the donation to WNET, UAN and GCN subchannel programming was replaced with its current affiliate [[MHz Worldview]]. Originally All Arts was supposed to air on WNDT-CD in late January, but it was picked up by [[WLIW (TV)|WLIW]] as a fourth subchannel.

===Analog-to-digital conversion===
In August 2009, the station flash-cut to its present low-power DTV signal, and the call-sign suffix was changed to CD, reflecting the station's Class A status using digital transmission.
