WNEO and WEAO are PBS member stations in northeastern Ohio, simulcasting together as PBS 45 & 49. The stations are operated from studio facilities in Kent, Ohio by Northeastern Educational Television of Ohio, which is a consortium of the University of Akron, Kent State University and Youngstown State University.
WNEO first began broadcasting in 1973. Licensed to Alliance, Ohio, the station serves the Youngstown area from a transmitter site in Salem, Ohio. WNEO also operates translator station W58AM near Youngstown itself (on WFMJ's tower), serving the low-lying Mahoning Valley. The FCC has awarded the station with a construction permit for ch 44 as their digital translator (W44CR-DT). [1]
WEAO first began broadcasting in 1975. Licensed to Akron, Ohio, it broadcasts from a transmitter site in Copley, Ohio and provides the Cleveland area with a second PBS member station, alongside WVIZ. Previously, channel 49 had been the home of Akron's WAKR-TV from 1953 until 1967. WAKR-TV moved to Channel 23, and is now WVPX.
Although WNEO is considered the main station, its studios are located on the campus of Kent State, near Akron.
WNEO and WEAO multi-cast one sub-channels on digital television channels 46 & 50:
