WESH, virtual channel 2 (VHF digital channel 11), is an NBC-affiliated television station serving Orlando, Florida, United States and is licensed to Daytona Beach. The station is owned by the Hearst Television division of the Hearst Corporation, and is part of a duopoly with CW affiliate WKCF (channel 18). The two stations share studio facilities on North Wymore Road (near I-4) in Eatonville (using a Winter Park address), and its transmitter is located in Orange City.
The station's signal is relayed through two UHF digital translators, broadcasting on channel 18 in Orange City (transmitting from WESH's former analog tower), and channel 24 in Ocala. On cable, WESH can be seen on Charter Spectrum channel 4 in Orlando and channel 2 in outlying areas, and on Comcast channel 3.
In addition, WESH formerly served as a default NBC affiliate for the Gainesville market as the station's transmitter provides a city-grade off-air signal in Gainesville proper (and also provides Grade B signal coverage in the fringes of the Tampa Bay and Jacksonville markets). However, since January 1, 2009, Gainesville is served by an in-market affiliate, WNBW (channel 9); although Cox Communications continues to carry WESH on its Gainesville area system.
