WNEU

WNEU (channel 60) is a television station licensed to Merrimack, New Hampshire, United States, serving as the Boston-area outlet for the Spanish-language network Telemundo. It is owned and operated by NBCUniversal's Telemundo Station Group alongside Nashua, New Hampshire–licensed Class A NBC station WBTS-CD (channel 15, formerly WYCN-CD), which shares spectrum with Boston-based PBS member station WGBX-TV (channel 44) to provide full-market coverage.

WNEU and WBTS-CD, along with co-owned regional cable news channel New England Cable News (NECN) and regional sports network NBC Sports Boston, share studios at the NBCU Boston Media Center on B Street in Needham, Massachusetts, with WNEU's transmitter in the same city, off Cedar Street.

WNEU's Telemundo programming was formerly simulcast by the low-power WYCN-LD (as analog WTMU-LP) as a translator. On January 1, 2017, WYCN-LD (as WBTS-LD) became an owned-and-operated NBC station known as "NBC Boston", replacing previous affiliate WHDH (channel 7). In October 2019, WYCN-LD moved its transmitter to Norton, Massachusetts, and became the Telemundo station for Providence, Rhode Island.

The station first signed on the air August 14, 1987, as WGOT, an independent station owned by Golden Triangle TV 60 Corporation. The call sign was derived from the so-called "Golden Triangle" region that encompasses Manchester, Nashua and Salem, New Hampshire. Neal Cortell, who owned 50 percent of WGOT, had earlier owned a stake in WXPO-TV (channel 50, now occupied by WWJE-DT).

Paugus Television bought WGOT for $1.35 million on January 13, 1989. In the early 1990s, WGOT unsuccessfully attempted to become New Hampshire's Fox affiliate; in 1991, Paugus filed an antitrust lawsuit against Fox, its Boston affiliate WFXT (channel 25), and the Boston Celtics (who owned WFXT at the time) for conspiring to block WGOT from joining the network, as well as using Fox programming and WFXT's Celtics broadcasts to place channel 60 at a disadvantage in obtaining cable carriage. Another attempt at obtaining a Fox affiliation for the station ended in November 1994, after Fox attempted to instead lure ABC affiliate WMUR-TV (channel 9).

Paxson Communications purchased WGOT from Paugus for $3.05 million on May 17, 1995, and switched the station to a mix of infomercials and religious programming, as an affiliate of the Infomall TV Network (or inTV). Paxson referred to WGOT as inTV's Boston affiliate; however, the channel 60 signal did not reach the city. To solve this, Paxson bought WRAP-LP (channel 33) in Gloucester from Electron Communications on October 31, 1996, moved the station to channel 54 in Boston under the callsign W54CN, and brought it to the air that November as a translator of WGOT. In December 2000, W54CN moved to channel 40 as W40BO.

WGOT changed its call sign to WPXB on January 20, 1998, and subsequently became a charter owned-and-operated station of Pax TV (now Ion Television) when it launched on August 31, 1998; WPXB split the Boston affiliation for the network with WBPX (channel 46, now WWDP) in Norwell. However, the station dropped Pax programming in June 1999 after DP Media (whose owner, Devon Paxson, was the son of Paxson Communications founder Bud Paxson) took over WABU (channel 68, now WBPX-TV) and made it Boston's new Pax station; WABU operated a satellite in New Hampshire, WNBU (channel 21, now WPXG-TV) in Concord. WPXB then returned to an infomercial format; on November 1, 2000, the station switched to ValueVision, which later became ShopNBC.

In September 2002, NBC agreed to acquire WPXB from Paxson for $26 million, with the intention of making channel 60 an owned-and-operated station of its Telemundo network. Paxson, which was in the process of selling some of its stations in order to raise $100 million, had originally planned to sell WPXB to another company, but NBC had a right of first refusal on Paxson's stations in the fifty largest markets, which it had obtained when it acquired a 32 percent stake in Paxson in 1999. NBC completed its purchase of WPXB on October 29, 2002; two days later, the call letters were changed to WNEU. Translator station W40BO was not included in the sale; Paxson eventually made channel 40 a translator of WBPX. Channel 60 continued to air ShopNBC programming until April 2003, while ValueVision Media (ShopNBC's parent company) was in the process of acquiring WWDP to move ShopNBC there; WNEU switched to Telemundo that month.
