WWOR-TV, virtual channel 9 (digital channel 38), is the flagship station of the MyNetworkTV programming service, licensed to Secaucus, New Jersey and serving the Tri-State (NY-NJ-CT) metropolitan area. WWOR is owned by Fox Television Stations, a division of the News Corporation, and is a sister station to Fox network flagship WNYW (channel 5). WWOR-TV's studios and main offices are located south of Route 3 east of the Meadowlands Sports Complex and its transmitter is atop the Empire State Building in Manhattan. An application for the renewal of its license has been pending since 2007.

WWOR is available to subscribers of EchoStar's Dish Network as part of their superstations package except in markets where the local MyNetworkTV affiliate invokes Syndex to block access to the market.

WWOR-TV also has a Mobile DTV feed of sister station WNYW 5.1 (via its subchannel on 9.2), broadcasting at 1.83 Mbit/s, with plans to add a subchannel of its own, also at 1.83 Mbit/s

On November 3, 2011, Fox Television Stations signed an affiliation agreement with Bounce TV, to carry the network on the second or third digital subchannels of its MyNetworkTV-affiliated stations; WWOR-TV, along with Los Angeles sister station KCOP will be the group's initial affiliates of Bounce TV, with other stations possibly adding the network during the first quarter of 2012. This will be the first digital multicast network to air on any of FTSG's stations, and the second outside-owned multicaster to carry its programming on an O&O station group (The Local AccuWeather Channel had an affiliation deal with the ABC Owned Television Stations, including WABC-TV, from 2006 to 2010).

Matthew Todd "Matt" Lauer (born December 30, 1957) is an American television journalist best known as the host of NBC's The Today Show since 1997. He was previously a news anchor in New York City and a local talk-show host in Boston, Philadelphia, Providence and Richmond. He was also host of PM Magazine (or "Evening Magazine" 1980-1986) and worked for ESPN in the 1980s as a sideline reporter. In the early 1990s, Lauer hosted segments of HBO Entertainment News.

He was born in New York City, the son of Marilyn Kolmer, a boutique owner, and Jay Robert Lauer, a bicycle-company executive. Lauer is of Romanian descent on his father's side, as seen on the Today Show's Finding Our Roots. His parents divorced during his youth, and his father died in 1997. Lauer had become co-host of The Today Show replacing longtime host Bryant Gumbel in early 1997, not long before his father's death. In 1999, both Lauer and his co-host Katie Couric initially resisted participation in Today's proposed series about their family roots. The series turned out to be a hit, and Lauer was moved by what he learned about his immigrant ancestors. "My dad was Jewish. My mom is not. So I was not raised anything. I do feel a desire now to find something spiritual. Getting married and wanting to have kids has something to do with that."

Jack Edward Larson (born February 8, 1928) is an American actor, librettist, screenwriter and producer. He is best known for his portrayal of photographer/cub reporter Jimmy Olsen on the TV series Adventures of Superman.

Larson was born in Los Angeles, California, is of Swedish and Russian descent, and reared in Pasadena. He graduated from Montebello High School in 1945 at the age of seventeen, and has at times claimed 1933 as his birth year.

Larson found the role of the cub reporter to be a handicap because of being typecast in it. He has not done much acting since then, mostly behind-the-scenes work such as writing and production. Larson has always been willing to sit for interviews about the Superman series and his connection to it, and in recent years has had a number of cameos that pay subtle tribute to his character and the series including a 1991 episode of the TV series Superboy alongside Noel Neill, who had played Lois Lane in Adventures of Superman, and Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman as an aged Jimmy Olsen in the episode "Brutal Youth", first telecast on October 20, 1996. Larson had a cameo in a late-1990s American Express card commercial with Jerry Seinfeld and an animated Superman, directed by David Kellogg. He and his co-star Noel Neill provided commentary on several Adventures of Superman episodes for the January 2006 DVD release of the 1953 season, and in 2006, he appears in Bryan Singer's film Superman Returns in a cameo role as "Bo the Bartender"; it was rumored prior to the film's release that his role would actually be Suicide Slum resident and Superman fan, Bibbo Bibbowski, a supporting character from the modern Superman comics. In one of Larson's Superman Returns scenes, where characters celebrate Superman's rescue of a plane, his character is shown wearing a bow tie in the style of Jimmy Olsen and hugging the film's incarnation of Jimmy Olsen played by Sam Huntington.
