WOSC-CD (channel 61) is a Class A low-power television station in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. The station is owned by The Videohouse, Inc. WOSC-CD primarily broadcasts national digital multicast networks.

The station went on the air as W61CC in 1997. By 1999, it was airing the America's Store home shopping service.[2] The station switched to airing HSN in 2004 when America's Store moved to WQEX (channel 16).[3]

Local programming

As of the first quarter of 2020, WOSC cut away from national programming for five hours each week, primarily on Sunday, to meet its local programming requirements as a Class A station. Most of their local programming was Saint Simon & Jude Parish services, which aired from 7:30 AM – 8:30 AM. WOSC also aired Cappelli & Company from 8:30 AM – 9:30 AM. Saint Simon & Jude Parish would then continue from 9:30 AM – 12:30 PM.g.[4]

On July 12, 2022, WOSC-CD added an over-the-air broadcast variant of One America News Network known as OAN Plus to its list of digital subchannels.[5][6]
