WNEO and WEAO are PBS member stations in northeastern Ohio, simulcasting together as PBS 45 & 49. The stations are operated from studio facilities in the Akron suburb of Kent, Ohio by Northeastern Educational Television of Ohio, which is a consortium of the University of Akron, Kent State University and Youngstown State University.

WNEO first began broadcasting in 1973. Licensed to Alliance, Ohio, the station serves the Youngstown area from a transmitter site in Salem, Ohio. WNEO also operates translator station W58AM near Youngstown itself (on WFMJ's tower), serving the low-lying Mahoning Valley. The station has filed with the FCC for ch 44 as their digital translator.

WEAO first began broadcasting in 1975. Licensed to Akron, Ohio, the station serves the Cleveland/Akron area from a transmitter site in Copley, Ohio. Previously, channel 49 had been the home of Akron's WAKR-TV from 1953 until 1967. WAKR-TV moved to Channel 23, and is now WVPX.
