WROW-TV

1953–1956

WTEN began broadcasting on October 14, 1953, as WROW-TV on UHF channel 41. It was owned by the Hudson Valley Broadcasting Company, operating alongside WROW radio (590 AM). It was a primary ABC affiliate.

WCDA

After WROW was sold off to a New York City-based syndicate group, channel 41 changed its callsign to WCDA, and launched a satellite station, WCDB (channel 29), in nearby Hagaman.

1956–1957

Hudson Valley merged with Durham Broadcasting Enterprises in December 1957, the owners of WTVD in Durham, to form Capital Cities Television Corporation (predecessor of Capital Cities Communications) with WTEN as its flagship station. Also, that year, channel 41 (by now, in VHF channel 10)'s call letters were changed again to the current WTEN. With the callsign change, its satellite changed its call letters to WCDC-TV.

1966–1977

WTEN was sold to Poole Broadcasting as Capital Cities merged with Triangle Publications in 1971.

1977–1983

On October 23, 1977, WTEN rejoined ABC after a 22 year absence; the CBS affiliation went to WAST (currently an NBC affiliate as WNYT). Poole sold channel 10, including WJRT-TV and WPRI-TV, to Knight Ridder Broadcasting.

1983–1986

During this time, WTEN's alternate "TVTEN" logo provided a rare example of a TV station identifying its channel number as both a number and a word.

1986–present

The "10" in this logo has been used by the station since 1986.
