Changes

'''WSRE''' is the PBS member station for the Northwest Florida and South Alabama viewing area. The station has been broadcasting since [[1967]].

The station has recently gone under very significant growth, with the dedication of the new [[Jean & and Paul Amos Performance Studio]], and numerous equipment and technical upgrades.

The station's transmitter and production and development facilities are located at the [[Kugelman Center for Telecommunications ]] on [[Pensacola Junior College]]'s main campus.

WSRE is home to three fully equipped television studios. The largest being WSRE's Studio A, otherwise known as the [[Jean and Paul Amos Performance Studio]]. Studio A is an 18,000 sq. foot fully featured television soundstage offering 500 seats of stadium seating, which is retractable to allow for more soundstage space. Studio B also offers all of the technical capability of Studio A, with more moderate floor space designed for live or pre-recorded programming without a live audience. Most of the station's local programming is produced in Studio B, including [[Open Forum]], [[Connecting the Community]], [[Aware]], [[PJC Today]], [[Legislative Review ]] and formerly [[Flavors of the Coast]]. Studio C is a much smaller studio and is almost exclusively used for television programs and segments designed for satellite uplinks. MSNBC's [[Wikipedia:Scarborough Country |Scarborough Country]] is frequently produced (sometimes for weeks or maybe a month or two at a time) in Studio C when [[Joe Scarborough]] is home in Pensacola.

At age 78, Peyroux died of unreleased circumstances on [[October 23]], [[2003]]. [http://www.blogofdeath.com/archives/2003_10.html]
