Sister station

Sister stations in separate (but often nearby) cities owned by the same company may or may not share a network affiliation.

For example, WNYW and WWOR-TV, in New York City and Secaucus, New Jersey, are both owned by Fox Corporation.

Sister networks or sister channels, in many cases, are cable or satellite channels which are launched to either broadcast series which either premiered on the main network but has been moved out of the higher-priority schedule (such as TV Land or Boomerang), fulfill a specific niche of content which would not be fulfilled on the main network (such as the Nick Jr. Channel[2] or Nicktoons) or broadcast to a wider audience than the main network (such as CNN International or Al Jazeera English).

The establishment and proliferation of sister networks on cable, satellite and internet providers has become easier and more commercially profitable over the history of such media venues.
