WYCI (channel 40) is a television station licensed to Saranac Lake, New York, United States, serving the Burlington, Vermont–Plattsburgh, New York area as an affiliate of MyNetworkTV. It is owned by Gray Media alongside Burlington-licensed CBS affiliate WCAX-TV (channel 3). The two stations share studios on Joy Drive in South Burlington, Vermont; WYCI's transmitter is located on Mount Pisgah north of Saranac Lake, along the Essex–Franklin county line.

Although WYCI is licensed as a full-power station, its broadcast range only covers the immediate Saranac Lake/Lake Placid area. Therefore, the station currently relies on cable and satellite carriage to reach the entire Burlington–Plattsburgh market. However, it has a construction permit to add a second transmitter on Terry Mountain in Peru, New York, from which it would fully cover the Champlain Valley area.

WYCU-LD (virtual channel 40, RF channel 26), licensed to both Charlestown, New Hampshire, and Rockingham, Vermont, operates as a translator of WYCI serving southern Vermont and western New Hampshire; this station's transmitter is located in Claremont, New Hampshire.
