WCAX-TV (channel 3) is a television station licensed to Burlington, Vermont, United States, serving as the CBS affiliate for the Burlington, Vermont–Plattsburgh, New York market. It is owned by Gray Media alongside Saranac Lake, New York–licensed WYCI (channel 40), an independent station with MyNetworkTV. The two stations share studios on Joy Drive in South Burlington, Vermont; WCAX-TV's transmitter is located on Vermont's highest peak, Mount Mansfield. WCAX was the first television station in Vermont. Like other network stations serving Burlington and Plattsburgh, WCAX-TV has a large audience in southern Quebec, Canada. This includes the Montreal area, which is five times more populous than the station's entire U.S. viewing area. Vidéotron's television services in southern Quebec carry WCAX-TV as their CBS affiliate. The station is also available on every cable system in Vermont, and statewide on DirecTV and Dish Network. Channel 3 traces its roots to WCAX radio, Vermont's oldest radio station, which signed on as an experimental station run by students at the University of Vermont (UVM) on May 20, 1922, and began full-time operations on October 10, 1924. By 1931, UVM realized it was in over its head operating a radio station, so it sold WCAX to the Burlington Daily News, which relaunched it that November as a commercial radio station.
