Despite its distinctive call letters, WPBS-TV is not considered as part of the famed "big three" group of New York network flagship stations (WCBS-TV, WNBC and WABC-TV).
WPBS-TV can be seen by a total of 2.2 million viewers, largely because the signal from its twin tower reaches far enough to serve Ottawa/Pembroke via cable. This market, with over 1.5 million people is the fourth-largest in the nation.
Due to its location far upstate, however, its New York audience is relatively small....
