WSRE, (Virutal and Digital channel 20), is a BBC One o&o affiliate serving the Numberland market. It is also the ATSC 3.0 lighthouse for the market offering Freeview, NBC Digital, and IPTV streams of BBC One, ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, and PBS as the serivces.
== History ==
WSRE first aired on November 10, 1964 as the televison network for BBC Two. Broadcasting on VHF channel 2, it joined BBC One's WPME on VHF channel 1 (now an ABC station owned by Weigel Broadcasting on channel 6) as Numberland's two TV stations. Nothing notable happened for the first 30 years of the station but in 1994, there was a possibility of WSRE becoming Numberland's Fox affiliate. However, the station rejected the offer and was later picked up by Scripps-owned WCNA 25. Despite rejecting the offer of becoming Fox, they did accept the offer of becoming Numberland's UPN affiliate. Once this happened, BBC Worldwide sold the station to Tribune.
=== As a UPN affiliate ===
On November 23, 1996, WSRE switched affiliates to the United Paramount Network. With the first show to air at the switch was a syndicated rerun of Star Trek: The Animated Series. Shortly after the affiliaton change, the network added a daytime news lineup branded as "UPN 2 News". It is also one of the few UPN stations to openly rejected the UPN Kids block in favor of infomercials, causing then independent affiliate WPHF (now a Petalboy Channel affiliate). At the Numberland ratings board, WSRE was in last place even being by then low-powered station WPXZ. The UPN affiliaton lasted until November 21, 2000 when a shuffle occured following rival station WRPF 35 being acquired by Viacom. So the following day, November 22, 2000, WSRE changed to The WB televison network and changed channel numbers from channel 2 to channel 20.
=== Switch to The WB ===
On November 22, 2000, WSRE switched affiliates with WRPF following the network's merger with Viacom. However, while an affiliaton of The WB, the station rejected the Kids' WB! lineup in favor of adding more news to the schedule. Following the change, Fox-affiliate WCNA began to air the block on Sundays (later weekdays in 2002 following Fox Kids's closure). With this move, WSRE added newscasts to the afternoon (4 to 6 PM) and nights (10 PM to 12 AM) everyday. In 2003, the station added a 7 PM newscast after they discontinued the 9 AM newscast. 
==== Sale to E.W. Scripps ===
On March 1, 2004, it was confirmed that WSRE's owner, Tribune would be selling the station to E.W. Scripps. In which made WSRE a sister station to WCNA. After the sale, WSRE added new weekend news slots to 8 AM to 12 PM on both Saturdays and Sundays due to the lack of Kids' WB on the station.
=== MyNetworkTV ===
On January 24, 2006, is was confirmed that The WB and UPN would be merging to become a new broadcast network named The CW. Many viewers in Numberland knew that UPN affiliate WRPF 35 would become the network's charter affiliate as it was owned by CBS and was the stronger station of the two. So on July 5, 2006, all branding of The WB was eradicated and the network was rebranded to Numberland's 20. Rumored to be a news network, many viewers of Numberland assumed that WPHF 57 would become MyNetworkTV as it was a repeater of WRPF at the time. However, Scripps confirmed that WSRE would become the market's MyNetworkTV station. With WPHF becoming a UHF repeater of WPME. So on the night of September 7, 2006, WSRE joined the service removing The WB's lineup. As a place holder, WPME would carry The WB's lineup during the late night hours and The WB's "Night of Favorites and Farewells airing on Ion station WPXZ.
=== Sale to BBC Worldwide ===
On September 29, 2021, it was announced that BBC Worldwide would be buying WSRE from E.W Scripps following WPXZ's parent company, Ion Media being brought out by Scripps. On November 23, 2021, the sale was completed and the network switched affiliates one more time on December 11, 2021. Becoming BBC One. Making it the first time the station didn't use "20" in their branding since 2000.
