This was recorded on Monday, January 30, 2023. Special thanks to Larry Miller for recording this and sending it in!
This station still signs-off for two hours early on Monday mornings between 3-5am. I have no idea why, as it seems signing off only on this day (while being 24 hours even on Saturday and Sunday) is kinda odd.
This whole station though has just felt weird since Sinclair sold this station to Northwest back in 2013, which they had to do in order to acquire Barrington's NBC affiliate, WSTM, as part of their buyout of that company. It was later folded in to Cox Media Group then Imagicomm Communications last fall. Cox and Imagicomm have made zero changes from how this station was being run under Northwest.
Northwest made no investment into the station (shocker), meaning they continue to be one of the largest Fox affiliates with no local news presence of any sort. Northwest did change the logo to remove the regular "Fox" wordmark in favor of rendering it in a different typeface and it looks terrible. They also changed the colors to match the colors used by Syracuse University. They did keep Gary Price as the station voiceover, who is Sinclair's stock voiceover for their Fox affiliates and has been since the late 2000s, and that's who's reading the sign-off/on announcement. Finally, they began to use the slogan "Your Local Broadcast Entertainment Station". I'm not entirely sure what the hell that means. I guess they want to convey the fact that they have no news, but "Your Entertainment Station" would be a much more concise way of conveying that.
The station does have an interesting distinction though: they're one of the very few Fox affiliates to carry "Wheel of Fortune" and "Jeopardy", doing so at 7pm weeknights. The station picked the shows up in 2012 from rival WTVH (whose former studios are across the block from WSYT's) who declined to renew them.
Following the sequence is color bars, which are left up for two hours during the "off-air" period.
0:00 - WSYT legal ID
0:08 - Sign-off
1:08 - Color bars

While I edited it out, the station immediately went into programming ("Just for Laughs Gags", not what I would consider "the best in broadcast entertainment") following the sign-on.

This is the sign-off/on sequence from Imagicomm-owned Fox affiliate WSYT in Syracuse, New York. The station also rebroadcasts in Ithaca on low-powered repeated WNYS-CD (warehousing the calls that used to belong to WSYT's former sister station on channel 43). This was recorded on Monday, January 30, 2023. Special thanks to Larry Miller for recording this and sending it in!
This station still signs-off for two hours early on Monday mornings between 3-5am. I have no idea why, as it seems signing off only on this day (while being 24 hours even on Saturday and Sunday) is kinda odd.
This whole station though has just felt weird since Sinclair sold this station to Northwest back in 2013, which they had to do in order to acquire Barrington's NBC affiliate, WSTM, as part of their buyout of that company. It was later folded in to Cox Media Group then Imagicomm Communications last fall. Cox and Imagicomm have made zero changes from how this station was being run under Northwest.
Northwest made no investment into the station (shocker), meaning they continue to be one of the largest Fox affiliates with no local news presence of any sort. Northwest did change the logo to remove the regular "Fox" wordmark in favor of rendering it in a different typeface and it looks terrible. They also changed the colors to match the colors used by Syracuse University. They did keep Gary Price as the station voiceover, who is Sinclair's stock voiceover for their Fox affiliates and has been since the late 2000s, and that's who's reading the sign-off/on announcement. Finally, they began to use the slogan "Your Local Broadcast Entertainment Station". I'm not entirely sure what the hell that means. I guess they want to convey the fact that they have no news, but "Your Entertainment Station" would be a much more concise way of conveying that.
The station does have an interesting distinction though: they're one of the very few Fox affiliates to carry "Wheel of Fortune" and "Jeopardy", doing so at 7pm weeknights. The station picked the shows up in 2012 from rival WTVH (whose former studios are across the block from WSYT's) who declined to renew them.
Following the sequence is color bars, which are left up for two hours during the "off-air" period.

While I edited it out, the station immediately went into programming ("Just for Laughs Gags", not what I would consider "the best in broadcast entertainment") following the sign-on.

Love Is Like Oxygen
by:
Sweet
Love is like oxygen You get too much you get too high Not enough and you're gonna die Love gets you high Love is like oxygen . . . Time on my side I got it all I've heard that pride Always comes before a fall There's a rumour goin' round the town That you don't want me around I can't shake off my city blues Every way I turn I lose Love is like oxygen . . . Love is like oxygen . . . Time is no healer If you're not there Lonely fever Sad words in the air Some things are better left unsaid I'm gonna spend my days in bed I'll walk the streets at night To be hidden by the city lights City lights Love is like oxygen . . . Love is like oxygen
