==History==
In 1968, WESA signed on for the first time. From 1968-1970, it was an affiliate of NET. in 1970, NET folded and WESA became a PBS affiliate.
From 1983-2000, WESA had a repeater station in Midland, Michigan with the callname WESM on channel 67 which served the Flint/Tri-Cities market. From 1983-1997, WESA/WESM was branded PBS 50/67. WESA/WESM was branded as Central Michigan Public Television or CMPTV from 1998-2001. CMPTV was the name of the companny that owned WESA & WESM. In 2000, CMPTV was on the verge of shutting down. WESM was sold to Univision that same year, who changed the callname to WUML. This caused WESA to rebrand back to WESA. In 2005, CMPTV changed names into CMPEN after getting an NPR station called WESA.
WESA got a digital signal on UHF channel 50 in 2001 from the money that came from selling off WESM and a sucsessful pledge drive. On June 12, 2009 (The mandated date for TV stations to shut down their analog signals in the United States), WESA shut down it's analog signal.
