WKNY-TV was an independent TV station that served the Hudson Valley in the mid-1950s.
Owned by Joseph K. Close and the Kingston Broadcasting Company (the same owners of WKNY radio), WKNY-TV, Channel 66, came on the air on May 24, 1954, licensed to Kingston, New York but broadcasting from studios in Poughkeepsie. Although technically an independent, WKNY carried programs from all four major networks of the time: ABC, NBC, CBS and DuMont. As of 1955, they were broadcasting one hour a day in the morning (11am to noon) and 5 1/2 hours in the evening (5:30 to 11pm), seven days a week. (Telecasting Yearbook, 1955-56.) Irv Rose served as WKNY-TV's program director.
WKNY-TV left the air on July 25, 1956, leaving Kingston without a TV station for almost three decades, until WRNN began broadcasting in 1985.
Remember when you used to cry
Then I would watch you fall asleep
And all the times we used to fight
But you were everything to me
Now do you ever say my name?
And do you every think of me?
Will this ever be the same?
Will it ever be the same?
And you're gone, will I ever find you?
Gone, does he even love you?
Gone, will he ever know you like I did?
And you're gone, will I ever see you?
Gone, when I breathe I breathe you
Gone, will he ever know you like I did?
Do you know how I used to try
To make you see how much I cared
And now I'm left with just the lie
Was there no trust or were you scared?
Now can you smile and say his name?
Or do you cry and think of me?
Will this ever be the same?
Will it ever be the same?
And you're gone, will I ever find you?
Gone, does he even love you?
Gone, will he ever know you like I did?
And you're gone, will I ever see you?
Gone, when I breathe I breathe you
Gone, will he ever know you like I did?
Was there nothing left for you to take from me?
Gone, will I ever find you?
Gone, does he even love you?
Gone, will he ever know you like I did?
And you're gone, will I ever see you?
Gone, when I breathe I breathe you
Gone, will he ever know you like I did?
And you're gone, will I ever find you?
Gone, does he even love you?
Gone, will he ever know you like I did?
And you're gone, will I ever see you?
(was there nothing left)
Gone, when I breathe I breathe you
(for you to take)
Gone, will he ever know you like I did?
