Editing WPIX (section)

===Sports programming===
Since 1999, the station has been the over-the-air broadcast partner of the [[New York Mets]]. Prior to 1999, the Mets had spent their entire televised history (since 1962) with (W)WOR.<ref>[https://archive.today/20130126130541/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-157325836.html WPIX Signs Mets to Replace Yanks], ''[[Albany Times Union]]'', January 27, 1999.</ref> WPIX, since 2013, has also simulcast some [[ESPN]] ''[[Monday Night Football]]'' telecasts involving the Giants or Jets by arrangement with WABC-TV, the main local rightsholder for the over-the-air simulcasts.<ref name="tvnc-wpixmnf">{{cite news |title=WPIX To Air 3 Primetime NFL Games In October |url=https://tvnewscheck.com/article/69190/wpix-to-air-3-primetime-nfl-games-in-october/ |access-date=October 23, 2019 |work=TV News Check |date=July 24, 2013 |language=en}}</ref><ref name="wpix-mnf">{{cite news |title=PIX11 to air three Monday night football games this season, starting with Jets vs. Browns tonight |url=https://pix11.com/2019/09/16/pix11-to-air-three-monday-night-football-games-this-season-starting-with-jets-vs-browns-tonight/ |access-date=October 23, 2019 |work=WPIX 11 New York |date=September 16, 2019 |language=en |archive-date=October 23, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191023192636/https://pix11.com/2019/09/16/pix11-to-air-three-monday-night-football-games-this-season-starting-with-jets-vs-browns-tonight/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> WPIX has also carried [[NFL Network]] ''[[Thursday Night Football]]'' telecasts involving the Giants or Jets<ref name="tvnc-wpixmnf"/> (mostly prior to the [[NFL]]'s decision to simulcast most Thursday night games on CBS, NBC, or Fox).

WPIX served as the longtime over-the-air television broadcaster of New York Yankees baseball from 1951 to 1998. [[Mel Allen]] served as the primary announcer for the broadcasts, [[Red Barber]] from 1954 to 1966, [[Phil Rizzuto]] from 1957 to 1996, and [[Bobby Murcer]] from 1997 to 1998. With his "Holy Cow!" catchphrase, Rizzuto became popular especially through the 1970s. WPIX lost the broadcast rights for the Yankees to WNYW in 1998, more so the result of [[regional sports network|regional cable sports networks]] (in this case, [[MSG (TV network)|MSG]]) gaining team broadcast rights, leaving broadcast stations with fewer games to air.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20131106001511/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-19477449.html Yankees broadcasts moving from Channel 11 to Fox affiliate], [[Associated Press]], October 1, 1998.</ref> In [[2015 New York Yankees season|2015]], the Yankees returned to WPIX after a 17-year absence, having picked up [[YES Network]]'s package of over-the-air Yankees broadcasts, replacing WWOR-TV. These games co-existed with WPIX's existing Mets broadcasts (produced by [[SportsNet New York]]).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://espn.com/blog/new-york/yankees/post/_/id/82154|title=Yankees heading back to WPIX|date=January 20, 2015|access-date=December 30, 2016}}</ref> In [[2022 New York Yankees season|2022]], these games left WPIX for [[Sports on Amazon Prime Video|Amazon Prime Video]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://nypost.com/2022/03/31/yankees-will-have-21-games-only-available-on-amazon-prime/|title=Yankees will have 21 games only available on Amazon Prime|date=March 31, 2022|access-date=April 22, 2022}}</ref>

At various points, WPIX also aired [[San Francisco Giants|Major League Baseball's New York Giants]], the [[New York Football Giants]] and [[New York Jets]], [[professional wrestling]] from 1984 to 1991 from various companies such as [[Pro Wrestling USA]], [[American Wrestling Association|AWA]] [[AWA All-Star Wrestling|All Star Wrestling]], [[Universal Wrestling Federation (Bill Watts)|UWF]], [[National Wrestling Alliance|NWA]]/[[WCW Worldwide]] and [[WCW Pro|Pro]], [[Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling|GLOW]] and briefly WWF (now [[WWE]]) from late 1998 to early 1999, the [[NHL]]'s [[New York Rangers]], the [[Major Indoor Soccer League (1978–1992)|MISL]]'s [[New York Arrows]] and local [[college basketball]]. However, it was through its coverage of Yankees baseball that WPIX gained perhaps its greatest fame and identity.

In March 2017, it was announced that WPIX would air selected [[New York Cosmos (2010)|New York Cosmos]] soccer games beginning in the 2017 season.<ref name="mcn-cosmosmsg">{{cite web|title=Cosmos Unveil Spring TV Schedule|url=http://www.multichannel.com/news/sports/cosmos-unveil-spring-tv-schedule/411561|website=Multichannel News|date=March 16, 2017|access-date=March 17, 2017}}</ref>

In 2021, WPIX aired two [[Brooklyn Nets]] playoff games. The Nets' usual network, [[YES Network|YES]], was airing a Yankees game instead.<ref>{{cite web|title=Brooklyn Nets Take 2-0 Lead On Boston Celtics As Charles Barkley, Kerry Kittles Predict A Sweep|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamzagoria/2021/05/25/brooklyn-nets-take-2-0-lead-on-boston-celtics-as-charles-barkley-kerry-kittles-predict-a-sweep/?sh=c8a03d1624db|website=Forbes|date=May 25, 2021|access-date=April 14, 2023}}</ref>
