WSEE-TV is the CBS-affiliated television station for Northwestern Pennsylvania that is licensed to Erie. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 16 (or virtual channel 35.1 via PSIP) from a transmitter on Old Waterford Road in Greene Township. The station can also be seen on Time Warner Cable channel 5 and in high definition on digital channel 1005. Owned by Lilly Broadcasting, WSEE-TV operates the area's NBC affiliate WICU-TV (owned by SJL Broadcasting) through a shared services agreement (SSA) and the two outlets share studios on State Street in Erie. WSEE-TV can also be seen over-the-air in standard definition on WICU-TV's third digital subchannel on VHF channel 12.3 from the same Greene Township transmitter.〔http://tvlistings.zap2it.com/tvlistings/ZCSGrid.do?stnNum=65364&channel=12.3〕〔''Lilly Broadcasting and SJL Choose Axcera for Digital Television Transmitters'', 12 April 2007 ()〕〔(Radio Station World )〕〔(SJL Broadcasting Group )〕 ==History== WSEE began broadcasting on April 24, 1954.〔(Brainy History ).〕 The station was originally owned by the Mead family, publishers of the ''Erie Times-News''. ABC programming was shared by WSEE and WICU-TV until WJET-TV signed-on in 1966. The Meads sold the station to Gillett Broadcasting in 1978. In 1981, the "-TV" suffix was added to the WSEE calls. Gillett then sold the station to SCS Communications in 1982. In 1988, SCS sold WSEE to Price Communications. Price sold WSEE along with three of its stations (WAPT in Jackson, Mississippi, WZZM-TV in Grand Rapids, Michigan and WNAC-TV in Providence, Rhode Island) to Northstar Television Group in 1989. UPN content was aired on weekends by WSEE-TV beginning January 16, 1995. In 1998, this station launched a cable-only WB affiliate as part of The WB 100+. It had the fictional call sign "WBEP".〔(Backchannel Media )〕 On January 24, 2006, UPN and The WB announced that they would cease broadcasting and merge. The new combined network would be called The CW. On September 18 of that year, WSEE-TV launched a new second digital subchannel to simulcast "WBEP" allowing non-cable subscribers access to the new network. That station began official use of the call sign WSEE-DT2 and became part of The CW Plus. Back in 2002, WICU-TV entered into a local marketing agreement with WSEE-TV. From that point until June 1, 2009, the station continued to operate from studios on Peach Street in Downtown Erie. On that date, WSEE-TV merged into WICU-TV's facilities on State Street. WSEE has been digital-only since February 17, 2009.〔http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-06-1082A2.pdf〕 Its over-the-air digital broadcast signal covers Erie, Warren, and Crawford counties in Pennsylvania; reaches east to Jamestown, New York, west to Ashtabula, Ohio, north to London and Hamilton in Ontario, and south to Clarion, Pennsylvania. The station can also be seen via satellite in North America and the Caribbean through C band. It is available in Costa Rica through one of the country's major cable providers, Cabletica, and in Puerto Rico on all three cable companies serving the island as well as part of the locals package on Dish Network. WICU-TV and WSEE-TV merged their websites in June 2011. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WSEE-TV」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
