W26BS was a low-power television station licensed to serve Binghamton, New York. It was most recently a repeater that broadcast programming from the Trinity Broadcasting Network, via satellite. The station broadcast on UHF channel 26, with an application to flash-cut to digital broadcasting on the same channel.
TBN took W26BS silent March 25, 2010 due to declining support, which has been attributed to the digital transition. W26BS returned to the air on April 26, 2010. On April 13, 2012, TBN sold 36 of its translators, including W26BS, to Regal Media, a broadcasting group headed by George Cooney, the CEO of the EUE/Screen Gems studios. In the meantime, W26BS left the air once more, on July 16, 2012, after losing the lease to its transmitter site; it will not return until after the sale to Regal Media is complete.
The station's license was cancelled by the FCC on July 16, 2013.
