PBS Western Reserve Viewing Map

At PBS Western Reserve, we are dedicated to meeting our viewers wherever they are and offering content in the ways they prefer to consume it. We recognize the evolving landscape of media consumption, where audiences are increasingly shifting from traditional linear viewing to digital and on-demand platforms. Our commitment to accessibility ensures that our high-quality programming is available across a variety of channels, including traditional television, digital platforms, social media and more.

Operating under the nonprofit corporation Northeastern Educational Television of Ohio Inc. (NETO), PBS Western Reserve comprises two separately licensed public television stations — WNEO and WEAO — and an Educational Services division. Since its establishment in 1971, WNEO, licensed to the city of Alliance, has served the Youngstown designated television market. WEAO, which began broadcasting in 1975, is licensed to the city of Akron and serves the Cleveland-Akron-Canton designated television market. Our programming is simulcast across both stations, ensuring a consistent and unified viewer experience.

With a signal that potentially reaches 3.3 million adults and more than 1.81 million households, we strive to provide content that educates, illuminates and inspires. Our active presence on social media platforms, including YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and X, allows us to engage with our audience in real time, broadening our reach and fostering a vibrant online community.

We are proud of our legacy and our ability to adapt to changing viewer habits, and we remain committed to delivering content that resonates with the diverse interests and needs of our Northeast Ohio and Western Pennsylvania audience and beyond.
