For the Elmira, New York, station that broadcast on channel 24 in the 1950s, see WTVE (Elmira, NY).
WTVE is a Reading, Pennsylvania television station broadcasting infomercials and paid religious programs on channel 51. It has operated since May 4, 1980[1].
Programming of various types was seen on the station, including at one point Telemundo. A local newscast was established in 2000, entitled "Philly TV News". It was an attempt to build up the station as a player in the Philadelphia TV news arena, but the production failed to attract viewers and was cancelled.
WTVE's studio and transmitter are located in Reading; its signal barely reaches Philadelphia's suburbs and Lebanon, which is in the eastern part of the Harrisburg market. As a result, WTVE depends on "must-carry" rules to reach home-market Philadelphia viewers on cable.
WTVE originally had a repeater in Philadelphia on WWJT-LP channel 7, but it has since gone dark.
They have aired various Pennsylvania Football. Last Year they broadcast 4 Albright College Football games. And this year they will be an affiliate for the PASportsfever Network. In addition, Temple University's newscast "Temple Update" airs on the station on Mondays at 7:30am.
