WBCC is an educational television station serving the Orlando television market. It broadcasts on UHF channel 68, with a digital signal on channel 30. It is one of the Orlando market's PBS member stations.
In the immediate Orlando area, Bright House carries WBCC, except during the evening hours, when its prime-time programming is replaced with programming from Valencia Community College.
WBCC's digital signal, on channel 30, offers programming from the University of Central Florida (channel 30.2 / 68.2) and BPS-TV from Brevard Public Schools (channel 30.3 / 68.3), in addition to WBCC's standard programming.
[edit] History
WBCC began in 1988 as WRES, on channel 18. In 1991, the station changed its call letters to the current WBCC and swapped channel positions with commercial WKCF, moving to channel 68. It was originally an educational independent, but this ended on January 1, 2002, when the station became a PBS member station, showing some limited programming from the network. By that April, renovations began to accommodate WBCC-DT channel 30, which took to the air on November 4, 2003.
