WXEL-TV

WXEL-TV is the PBS member public television licensed to West Palm Beach, Florida. WXEL is a community-based public television station, independently owned and operated by The WXEL Public Broadcasting Corporation (referred to as the “Corporation”), a Florida not-for-profit 501(c)(3) educational and cultural organization.
==History==

WXEL signed on-the-air on July 8, 1982 as WHRS-TV, under the ownership of South Florida Public Telecommunications. The call letters refer to the Hagen Road Elementary School, a public school owned by the School District of Palm Beach County, which established its then-sister FM station, WHRS-FM, in 1969. Prior to 1982, Miami's WPBT had doubled as the PBS member for the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast. On January, 1985, the station became known as "WXEL-TV" along with its sister radio station, WXEL-FM (now WFLV). (The WXEL call sign had been used on channel 8 in Cleveland, Ohio, on what is now WJW.)
In 1997, South Florida Public Telecommunications sold WXEL-FM-TV was purchased by Barry University, a Catholic university located in Miami Shores. During its ownership, WXEL was one of at least three PBS members owned and operated by a Catholic-related organization (WLAE-TV in New Orleans, Louisiana and KMBH in the Rio Grande Valley are the others), and one of at least four run by a religious organization in general (counting Provo, Utah's KBYU-TV). Despite the Catholic-based ownership, WXEL showed no religious programming, other than documentaries provided by PBS.
Over the intervening years the stations grew under Barry University’s stewardship and the station’s then CEO, Jerry Carr. In 2004, the station began digital broadcasting as part of the nation’s conversion to DTV and later, in 2009, turned off its analog signal and went completely digital. During this period, the University decided to exit broadcasting part of a change in strategic direction. It entered into a purchase agreement with the Educational Broadcasting Corporation (owners of New York City’s WNET and WLIW) and the Community Broadcast Foundation of Palm Beach and the Treasure Coast. This agreement was terminated in 2008 with the University subsequently selling WXEL-FM separately to the American Public Media Group in 2011. Carr retired in 2010.
While a number of organizations approached Barry University as candidates to purchase the television station, the University announced on February 27, 2012 that the station would be acquired by a community-based group led by the station’s current CEO, Bernie Henneberg. Henneberg’s group, the WXEL Public Broadcasting Corporation, sought and was granted approval by the Florida Department of Education to operate the station and continue to receive state support. In July 2012, after completing an extensive review of its application, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC)〔(Official FCC Website )〕 formally transferred the license for WXEL-TV to the Corporation. The sale was finalized on July 21, 2012. On February 7, 2013, the FCC issued a license renewal authorization for a term expiring on February 1, 2021.
On July 15, 2015, Community Television Foundation of South Florida, Inc. (owner of WPBT) announced an agreement with the WXEL Public Broadcasting Corporation to merge the operations of both WPBT and WXEL-TV into a new entity, to be known as "South Florida PBS". The merger, which was formally filed with the FCC on July 16, would enable the two stations to pool resources and fundraising efforts to offer more program content.
