WSEE-DT2 is the CW-affiliated television station for Pennsylvania's Northwestern Region. The station is part of The CW Plus. It is a second digital subchannel of CBS affiliate WSEE-TV that is owned by Lilly Broadcasting. Over-the-air, WSEE-DT2 broadcasts a digital signal on UHF channel 16.2 (or virtual channel 35.2 via PSIP) from a transmitter on Old Waterford Road in Greene Township. Its parent station shares studios with NBC affiliate WICU-TV on State Street in Erie.
The station signed-on in September 1998 after WSEE-TV entered into a partnership with The WB 100+, a national programming service operated by The WB for television markets ranked greater than 100, and Time Warner Cable. It was a cable-exclusive station, and as a result, used the call sign "WBEP" (standing for "The WB Erie, Pennsylvania") in a fictional manner for identification purposes. WSEE-TV provided local advertisement and promotional duties for the outlet based at the CBS affiliate's original facilities on Peach Street/U.S. 19 in Downtown Erie. From January 11, 1995 until 1998, when "WBEP" signed on, The WB programming was only available in the Erie, Pennsylvania market via Chicago-based WGN-TV's national Superstation feed, or via off-market stations, such as WBPA-LP (now WPCW) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. On January 24, 2006, CBS Corporation and Warner Bros. Television announced that they would shut down their UPN and The WB networks and combine their resources by creating a new programming service called The CW Television Network.
