WCEA-LP, channel 58, is a Spanish language low-power television station serving the Boston market. The station is owned by C&M Broadcasting Corporation. WCEA is co-owned with La Semana, a local Spanish language newspaper.

History

WCEA was founded by Pedro Nicolas Cuenca in 1986 as W19AH, adopting its current call letters in 1995. It has always been a platform for local multicultural independent producers in the Boston market. The station also served as Boston's Telemundo affiliate in the early 1990s, before W32AY (now WTMU-LP) signed on in 1995.[1]

Initially broadcasting on channel 19, WCEA was forced to move to channel 58 in the early 2000s to accommodate the digital signal of WGBH-TV.[2]

Since December 2010, Massachusetts Spanish TV Network (MAS TV) has partnered with WCEA to provide programming, including local newscasts at 6 a.m. and noon.[3]

WCEA currently has applications to broadcast on channels 44 and 45 from atop the John Hancock Tower.
