'''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 State College]]'s main campus.

==Production Facilities==
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 television soundstage offering 500 seats of stadium seating, of which half is retractable to allow for more floor 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]] used to be frequently produced (sometimes for weeks or maybe a month or two at a time) in Studio C when [[Joe Scarborough]] was home in Pensacola.

===''Gourmet Cooking''===

The program first went into production as a local program in [[1977]], going into national public television syndication in [[1982]], and televised through the early-1990s. At age 78, Peyroux died of unreleased circumstances on [[October 23]], [[2003]]. [http://www.blogofdeath.com/archives/2003_10.html]
