Encyclopedia : W : WN : WNE : WNEU
WNEU is a television station serving the Boston market, but licenced to Merrimack, New Hampshire. Owned by NBC Universal, it serves as the Telemundo affiliate for the north of Boston and for Southern New Hampshire, along with WTMU-LP.
History
WNEU signed on in 1987 as WGOT, an Independent station. For a time, the station aired a 10PM newscast anchored by current NHDOT spokesperson Bill Boynton. Paxson Communications purchased the station in the 1990s, and switched WGOT to a mix of infomercials and religion, similar to their other stations. The station changed its call letters to WPXB in preparation for the launch of the Pax TV network, but dropped it after Paxson acquired WABU (now WBPX), due to conflicts in the immediate Boston area with WABU, and in New Hampshire itself with WNBU (now WPXG). After a brief return to infomercials, the station switched to ValueVision, which later became ShopNBC. NBC acquired the station from Pax in 2002, and changed programming to a relay of ZGS Broadcasting's WTMU-LP.During its Paxson ownership, WGOT/WPXB owned a translator in Boston, Massachusetts, W40BO, which was previously W33AV, WRAP-LP, W54AT, and W54CN. When NBC purchased channel 60, Paxson retained W40BO, which has now changed to a translator of WBPX.
