It is owned by [[Pensacola State College]] (PSC), with studios located at the Kugelman Center for Telecommunications on the Pensacola State main campus, and its transmitter near [[Robertsdale, Alabama]]. WSRE went on the air in 1967 under the ownership of the [[Escambia County School District|Escambia County board of education]]. Its transmitter and studios were located at what was then known as Pensacola Junior College, and it provided instructional television and production services for local K-12 schools and the junior college as well as evening programming from [[National Educational Television]], later supplanted by PBS. The college became the licensee in 1971, after Florida state law moved junior colleges under the control of the [[Florida Board of Education|State Board of Education]]. In 1991, the WSRE-TV Foundation was established to provide financial support and administration.{{r|hist}} In addition to a range of local programming, WSRE has provided public telecommunications and other services, including a [[radio reading service]].
