WNEP History

Television stations today are technological marvels. Computers, digital components, transmitters of unimagined power, and machines that can make anything we dream a reality. We thought it would be interesting to look back, and see how it all began.

Five Stations started it all

WILK-TV signs on. The Governor of Pennsylvania, the Mayor of Wilkes-Barre, and other dignitaries join WILK-TV owners Thomas Shelbourne and Dr. Roy Morgan.

Three months after that, on September 16th, 1953, WILK-TV hit the air. In January of 1954, WARM-TV owned by a group headed by Former Governor William Scranton began broadcasting.

Last, and as it turned out, least, was WVUE-TV from Scranton. WVUE-TV lasted only 9 months before it ceased operations and its license was bought by WDAU-TV. It would be 20 years before another station would be added to our market.
