dbo:abstract
  • WSEC, virtual channel 14 (UHF digital channel 18), is a Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) member television station licensed to Jacksonville, Illinois, United States. Owned by Southern Illinois University, it is a sister station to WSIU-TV in Carbondale. WSEC's transmitter is located south of Franklin, Illinois; master control and most internal operations are based on the SIU campus in Carbondale. WSEC operates two full-time satellites, WMEC (virtual channel 22, UHF digital channel 36) in Macomb and WQEC (virtual channel 27, UHF digital channel 34) in Quincy. WMEC's transmitter is located near Colchester, while WQEC's transmitter is on Ellington Road northeast of Quincy. A digital translator located in Springfield, W08DP, formerly broadcast on VHF channel 8 for full coverage in that metropolitan area. W08DP's license was cancelled by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on August 4, 2021, due to the translator not obtaining a license for digital operation by the July 13 deadline. The three-station network serves as the PBS member for the Quincy television market (defined by Nielsen), as well as the western portion of the Champaign–Springfield–Decatur market. It serves a large and mostly rural area of western Illinois, northeastern Missouri and southeastern Iowa. (en)
