WNEO and WEAO are PBS member stations in northeastern Ohio, simulcasting together as PBS 45 & 49. The stations are operated from studio facilites 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 1971. 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, serving the low-lying Mahoning Valley.

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.
