WCCK

WCCK is the H Channel affiliate licensed to serve Boston, Massachusetts. It is owned by The Pierre Péladeau Company; and sister to Central O&Os WCBO and WMUR.
== History ==
Classix became available in Boston in 2014 when the station signed on, making the city the second-largest DMA to not have a Classix station for that long (the largest, DMA #4 Philadelphia, got a Classix station later in 2014). The station heavily preempted Classix programming; the CNN-produced 5pm newscast was not carried at all by the station, with Seinfeld reruns filling its place; the station began airing network programming in the 5pm timeslot when the newscast was replaced with the Happy Hour block in 2019.
In 2021, Confection Broadcasting began affiliating its Classix stations with Lake Hill Broadcasting's H Channel. WYMP, KNVO, and WINR had already made the switch, with Classix moving to the .2 subchannel. WCCK became an H Channel affiliate on September 28, 2021, rebranding to H Channel 6. It does not carry any local newscasts, airing everything on H Channel's schedule. It also does not have an official logo, but uses a basic blue 6 during station identification. The 6 refers to its cable channel position.
On November 11, 2021, The Pierre Péladeau Company wanted to have the station from Confection Broadcasting for $2.58 million effective December 1. The sell was completed on November 26. Under new owners, an official, new logo was introduced resembling of that of the KGTV logo since 1995; dropping the basic blue 6 unofficial logo due to possible confusion with now sistser Worcester licensed WCBO, which broadcasts on VHF channel 6 whereas WCCK broadcasts on UHF channel 20. The branding is simply called "Channel 20."
WCCK now serves as a secondary Central affiliate, airing network programs when either WCBO or WMUR (in some cases, both of them) are covering breaking events or weather disturbances.
Since then, the station has simulcast some of WCBO's newscasts, but with separate graphics; using Stephen Arnold's "Extreme" package.
== Subchannels ==
WCCK currently operates two subchannels: UPN Retro, a network that airs old UPN sitcoms and cartoons, and Ha!, a network similar to Laff that airs classic comedy shows. From 2014 until 2017, the 6.2 subchannel was occupied by The WB Classics, UPN Retro's rival network. AccuWeather was added as the 6.4 subchannel on June 11, 2021.
