WASA-LD, virtual channel 24 (VHF digital channel 13), is a low-power Estrella TV-owned-and-operated television station licensed to Port Jervis, New York, United States and serving the New York City media market. The station is owned by Estrella Media, and its transmitter is located at 4 Times Square in Manhattan.
WASA briefly used virtual channel 64 to match its former analog channel number, then later changed its virtual channel to 24. It does not use its actual digital TV channel assignment on the air, because WNYE-TV calls itself Channel 25, its long-time analog channel number. WNYE-TV's digital channel is actually 24.
In April 2009, Venture Technologies, owner of WASA-LD, said it would sell the station to Burbank, California-based Liberman Broadcasting (which was renamed Estrella Media in February 2020, following a corporate reorganization of the company under private equity firm HPS Investment Partners, LLC) for $6 million, making New York the sixth market served by Liberman.[2] The deal closed on March 1, 2010.
