W60AI is a low-power television station in New York, New York, which had broadcast as an analog LPTV translatior for HSN.

History

W60AI signed on in 1977 as a translator of WTVG (channel 68), a Newark, New Jersey-based independent station, with a transmitter atop 2 World Trade Center. WTVG later became WWHT, incorporating pay TV subscription service Wometco Home Theater into its programming, and later programmed music videos after WHT closed in 1985; it switched to HSN in 1986 and became WHSE-TV the next year.

W60AI remained a WHSE-TV translator until 1997, when it changed to America's Store to increase that network's penetration in parts of Nassau and Kings counties, where they didn't have cable coverage. HSN remained available via WHSE for another five years, and then on WXNY-LP after WHSE was sold to Univision Communications and became WFUT. After September 11, 2001, W60AI moved its transmitter to the Citigroup Building in Long Island City, Queens. It has since been relicensed to operate from the Blooomberg Tower at 725 Lexington Avenue in Manhattan. In 2004, the station swapped affiliations with WXNY and returned to HSN, this time as a satellite repeater. Analog W60AI left the air March 1, 2010. HSN moved to WNYN DT5 in April 2010.

On February 18,2011, W60AI signed-on UHF Channel 41 as W41DO, displaying as virtual channnel 60-1.
