WBRE-TV Means MARKET COMMUNICATION to the people of 19 Counties in N.E. Pennsylvania Keeping pace with Wilkes-Barre's, Scranton's, Hazleton's and Williamsport's outward spread as new residential areas are developed, is the distinctly American Institution of the Shopping Center. And right in the center of the Centers is the food market . . . where the people of nineteen Pennsylvania Counties go to buy. To reach these people, WBRE-TV is the station that consistently reaches them with the best programming. WBRE-TV's population coverage is close to 2,000,000 and the latest set count was 350,000. One food market advertiser with a twice-a-week quiz show on WBRE-TV averages 4,000 postal cards weekly, and has been on the station since January 1, 1953.
