WETM-TV
WETM-TV is the NBC-affiliated television station for the Central and Western Twin Tiers of Southern Upstate New York and Northern Pennsylvania. Licensed to Elmira, it broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 18 from a transmitter on Hawley Hill in Big Flats. The station can also be seen on Time Warner Cable channel 3 and in HD on digital channel 1203. Owned by the Nexstar Broadcasting Group, WETM has studios on East Water Street in downtown Elmira.
==History==
The station signed-on September 10, 1956 as WSYE-TV. It was owned by Newhouse Communications as a semi-satellite of NBC affiliate WSYR-TV (now WSTM-TV) in Syracuse. It is Elmira's oldest surviving station, signing on two years after WTVE which went dark after Hurricane Hazel blew through the Elmira area in 1954 and took out its tower. Originating early on from WSYE's original studios on Hawley Hill was a ladies informational program called ''The Dana Near Show''.
In 1980, Newhouse sold its entire television division, including WSYE and WSYR, to the Times Mirror Company. The new owners changed the call letters to WSTM-TV and WETM-TV respectively. Times Mirror gradually cut the last ties between the two stations while establishing WETM as a full-fledged station in its own right. It sold WETM to Smith Broadcasting in 1986. Under Smith's ownership, a reversal of the station's origins took place with the 1996 launch of a Class A semi-satellite in Binghamton, WBGH-CA. Set up in the wake of established NBC affiliate WICZ-TV defecting to Fox, WBGH eventually split off except for simulcasting WETM's newscasts. This station became the first outlet in the Elmira market with an internet presence starting in 1998.
In 2000, Smith Broadcasting entered into a management agreement with The Ackerley Group to operate WETM. Clear Channel Communications inherited the management agreement when it purchased Ackerley in late 2001. In 2004, Smith Broadcasting sold WETM outright to Clear Channel after the death of Smith Broadcasting founder Robert Smith. On April 20, 2007, Clear Channel entered into an agreement to sell its entire television stations group to Providence Equity Partners. Newport announced on July 19, 2012 that it would sell twelve of its television stations (including WETM) to the Nexstar Broadcasting Group. The sale was finalized on December 3, 2012. On July 26, the station was knocked off-the-air by widespread power outages caused by a confirmed tornado that struck downtown Elmira during the afternoon. By the next day around mid-morning, WETM had a feed restored to Time Warner Cable.〔http://www.wetmtv.com/news/local/story/Tornado-Threat-Has-Now-Passed/oRxt8yHfH0qt5i0LIKYyEg.cspx〕〔http://www.wetmtv.com/news/local/story/WETM-TV-Programming-Restored-To-Time-Warner-Cable/Exi61Hs6DUKwTR7kGuP6zA.cspx〕
