WESH, Television station in Daytona Beach, United States.
WESH is a television station operating from studios on North Wymore Road in Eatonville, Florida. The station broadcasts to the Orlando metropolitan area and maintains transmitter equipment near Christmas, Florida.
The station began broadcasting in 1956 as an independent channel, later joining NBC network in October 1957. This affiliation allowed the broadcaster to expand its news coverage and reach across the region.
The station has deep roots in Central Florida through its Share Your Christmas food drive, a community initiative that supports local families. This program shows how the broadcaster remains active in helping its region.
Viewers can access news updates through the WESH mobile application, available for both iOS and Android devices. The app allows people to stay informed regardless of where they are in the coverage area.
The station's name comes from businessman W. Wright Esch, who obtained the broadcasting license but sold it before the channel went on air. This means the broadcaster is named after someone who never actually operated it.
