WNEP began in the early 1950s as two small independent television stations. In 1962, it moved from third to second place in the half-hour local news. The move signaled the station’s expansion into Northeastern Pennsylvania. In 1964, Taft Broadcasting purchased the station from Transcontinental. By the end of the decade, WNEP had grown to employ more than 120 people. While it’s not entirely clear when WNEP 16 began, the company’s success boosted its ratings and drew the attention of President Ronald Reagan.
