WEFS-TV Local Content and Service Report 2018

WEFS 2018 LOCAL CONTENT AND SERVICE REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY “This is, and has been, a constant source of informative entertainment for many years.” - R & J Haskell WEFS is proud to be an independent public television station, offering a unique broadcast service to our Central Florida community. LOCAL VALUE WEFS offers relevant and compelling programming to the viewers in our community. Being an Independent Public Television Station based in Brevard County gives us a unique identity in the Orlando/Melbourne / Daytona Beach Communities. WEFS gives its viewers alternative independent educational programs. And we are able to provide programming that other stations carrying a full schedule of PBS shows cannot. 2018 KEY SERVICES Aside from our primary channel we offer: Classic Arts Showcase highlighting performances of variety of the arts including, ballet, symphony, theater, film, and opera. On our third channel we carry the NASA Education Channel. Both of these services are carried exclusively by WEFS in the area we serve. Our fourth channel is The Florida Channel featuring programming covering all three branches of Florida state government. LOCAL IMPACT Comments from our viewers are overwhelmingly positive. For example, one of our viewers who watches the “Classic Arts Showcase,” said, “INTELLIGENT! That’s the word I use. The Classic Arts Showcase is so soothing and relaxing to the ears and the scenes portray such a peaceful atmosphere full of artistic value, so very much mature in nature. WEFS is where I come to get away from the madness of the outside world. Thank You.”
