WSEA-TV is an independent television station in Seattle, WA. It signed on in September 1950 as a DuMont affiliate, then became a secondary NBC affiliate from September 1956-September 1994, a secondary ABC affiliate from September 1994-September 2005, independent from September 2005-December 2007, and an RTEjr affiliate since December 2007. The station simulcasts programs on UHF channel 30. They were at first a DuMont O&O, then an NBC O&O until Taft bought the station in September 1983, which would become Great American Broadcasting in 1987, Citicasters in 1993, and Clear Channel in 1994.
