WNNE
Encyclopedia
WNNE is the NBC
-affiliated television station
for the Connecticut River Valley (also known as Upper Valley) area of eastern Vermont
and western New Hampshire
that is licensed to Hartford, Vermont
. It broadcasts a high definition
digital signal on UHF channel 25 from a transmitter on Mount Ascutney
in Windsor County, Vermont. Owned by the Hearst Corporation
, WNNE has studios on Dewitt Drive in White River Junction
, a village within the town of Hartford, as part of the old Regency Inn & Suites property.
, the NBC affiliate for the Burlington
/Plattsburgh, New York market. Its master control is located at that station's studios on Television Drive in Plattsburgh. Although it has its own Web address, wnne.com, it redirects to a separate section of WPTZ's Web site.
While it clears all of channel 5's programming, it maintains a separate identity in terms of station identifications and local advertisements. In western New Hampshire, the station's coverage area includes Sullivan
and Grafton
Counties. Although technically part of the Burlington/Plattsburgh market, most of WNNE's viewership comes from the southern New Hampshire
sub-market. This sub-market is part of the Greater Boston DMA
.
WNNE's coverage area is within the coverage area of a former translator of sister station WMTW in Portland, Maine
, based in the Mascoma area of Hanover, New Hampshire
(though it was licensed to White River Junction). In 2005, the translator was activated to make up for lost coverage when WMTW signed off from Mount Washington back in 2002. Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) regulations do not allow that two or more stations from two or more different markets have coverage in the same location (in this case, White River Junction). This rule, however, does not apply to repeaters. (Hearst sold the translator to New Hampshire Public Television
in 2009, after taking it silent following the loss of its transmitter site lease.) Additionally, WNNE shares its coverage area in New Hampshire with another sister station, WMUR-TV
.
NBC affiliate operating out of studios in, and licensed to, Lebanon. A construction permit had been issued as early as 1954. The station moved to channel 31 in 1971.
WRLH brought NBC programming to much of the region for the first time. Although this area is part of the Burlington/Plattsburgh market, WPTZ was the only station in the market that did not operate any translators. However, WRLH failed to make any headway in the ratings, in part because it could not air programming in color. It finally went dark in 1976.
Taft Broadcasting Corporation, the same company who founded KGUL-TV in Galveston, Texas
(now KHOU in Houston) but unrelated to the larger Taft Broadcasting Company
of Cincinnati, obtained a permit for a new channel 31, by then reallocated to Hanover
, in 1977; initially assigned the call letters WMVW, it went on the air September 25, 1978 as WNNE-TV from its current facility in White River Junction. The station was granted a waiver to identify as "Hartford-Hanover" in 1980; additionally, the "-TV" suffix was later dropped.
In its first twelve years, WNNE was its own self-supporting station, running its own syndicated lineup, as well as network programming from NBC. Its longtime slogan was "Your Hometown Station". In 1990, Heritage Media, then-owner of WPTZ, bought WNNE and turned it into a semi-satellite of WPTZ. For a time, most programming still originated out of WNNE, but certain shows were relayed from Plattsburgh via microwave. In 2000, WPTZ moved WNNE's master control to its studios in Plattsburgh. In July 2001, WNNE's website was integrated into a separate section of WPTZ's website.
On July 20, 2005, WNNE began broadcasting its digital signal on UHF channel 25. However, the station never offered NBC Weather Plus
on a digital subchannel, unlike WPTZ, which offered it and referred to it as "NewsChannel 5 Weather Plus". Nevertheless, the stations' newscasts have common weather graphics carrying the branding of "5 & 31 Weather Plus". WPTZ replaced Weather Plus with This TV
in 2009; as with Weather Plus, it is not available on WNNE.
On February 17, 2009, the station shut down its analog signal and became exclusively digital.
The station previously operated a translator, W65AM channel 65, licensed to Lebanon, New Hampshire
and White River Junction, Vermont
with a transmitter west of the town on Crafts Hill. On March 19, 2010, the FCC cancelled its license.
In the mid-1980s, NBC wanted satellite truck coverage in the northeast. WNNE's location was a perfect fit, and a new satellite truck, partially funded by the network, was stationed at the White River Junction studio. The station also maintained its own satellite truck, which assisted in news gathering efforts in the Upper Valley. In the mid-1990s, both satellite trucks, including the NBC satellite truck, were acquired by WPTZ; the latter remained in service with a channel 5 logo until 2003.
In 1989, WNNE began the process of downsizing its staff; this culminated in the cancellation of WNNE's newscasts in June 2001. By then, it had eliminated local morning and midday news broadcasts, with the station simulcasting WPTZ's morning newscast and Today cut-ins, as well as airing an infomercial
at noon.
and New York State to be seen on WNNE. In 2007, the WNNE news updates were discontinued, and the station's studios became a full-time Upper Valley bureau for WPTZ, being referred to as such on channel 5's newscasts; it employs a full-time reporter. After the removal of the news updates, there was only the separate newscast opening that remained to indicate that WNNE was ever a separate station. Eventually, the news opening was dropped as well. Today, the only visual difference between the two stations are some local advertising and station identifications.
WPTZ and WNNE use the "NewsChannel" branding. During all newscasts, the station superimposes its channel 31 logo over the channel 5 logo in the right hand corner of the screen. Occasionally, when WNNE has technical problems, WPTZ's logo will peek through. Like WPTZ, WNNE uses "HD" in its logo, but does not simulcast WPTZ's newscasts in high definition
or in widescreen standard definition.
Weeknights during 5:30 Now, there is a regional summary of news headlines from New York State, Vermont, and the Upper Valley. The Upper Valley segment is live with a reporter broadcasting from channel 31's newsroom. In addition to the Upper Valley and a Vermont bureau in Colchester
, WPTZ also airs national news from a Washington, D.C.
bureau that is operated by Hearst. The bureau employs reporters who give live reports to the Hearst affiliates.
Due to WNNE sharing its coverage area in New Hampshire with nearby sister station and ABC
affiliate WMUR-TV
, WPTZ and that station occasionally share news video.
Although the two stations do not own or operate weather radar
s of their own, they use live NOAA National Weather Service
radar data from five regional radar sites. It is presented on-screen in a forecasting system known as "Storm Tracker 5000". The main signal comes from a radar located at the NWS Local Forecast Office at Burlington International Airport
.
Unlike most other NBC affiliates, WPTZ and WNNE do not air a weekday Noon newscast. The stations had aired news at that time until 2005, but it was dropped in favor of 5:30 Now.
With the departure of primary co-anchor Thom Hallock on November 23, 2007, the stations were left with an all-woman anchor team. That changed with the arrival of Gus Rosendale. He left WPTZ and WNNE in 2005 to report at sister station WTAE-TV
in Pittsburgh. Rosendale made his debut back at the two stations in mid-December. See the WPTZ

As a separate station
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, WNNE had its own news department, heavily staffed for a station of its size. Reporters would often shoot, edit, and produce their own pieces. The station's news programming was known as News 31. During the week, WNNE offered local news and weather updates at :25 and :55 past the hour during Today, full newscasts at Noon, 6, and 11 P.M., and local weather updates during network and syndicated programming. The station did not air any local news on weekends.
