    In 2004, WLBZ 2 celebrated its 50th anniversary, broadcasting from the same building on Mount Hope Avenue in Bangor as the station has for the past five decades. Under the ownership of Murray Carpenter, the station signed on the air September 12, 1954 as WTWO. Since the station was not affiliated with a network, most programs were locally produced and live. With so many hours of airtime to fill, one man got plenty of face time and Eddie Driscoll had many faces to go around. Driscoll's array of quirky characters and offbeat skits made him a household name. The station also brought the Bangor area its first live children's program 'Aunt Edna's Lollypop Shop.' Eddie retired in 1986 and was inducted in the Maine Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame. Throughout his retiremement, he fought Alzheimer's Disease --- a battle he eventually lost in September 2006. Early in the summer of 1958, William Rines took over WTWO, renaming it WLBZ. Soon after, the station joined the networks of NBC. As the station grew, local news became a priority, as did the commitment to community. Over the years, WLBZ initiated numerous awards like the Jefferson Awards and the 2 Those Who Care Awards, which recognize and show appreciation for volunteerism and community service. Advances in technology have greatly enhanced the television viewing experience. We have gone from live to film, from film to video, black and white to color, from the studio to the scene, to satellite signals which bring viewers the action live as it is happening in eastern Maine and around the world. In 1998, the Rines-Thompson family sold WLBZ 2 and sister station WCSH 6 to Gannett Co., Inc., a leading international news and information company that publishes 102 daily newspapers in the United States including USA TODAY, operates 21 television stations and is an Internet website leader. In the mid-90's, WLBZ 2 and NEWS CENTER have expanded our program delivery to include WLBZ2.com. In 2002, WLBZ-DT signed on the air, bringing high definition television to Eastern and Central Maine. In late 2005, on channel 2.2, WLBZ 2 began offering NEWS CENTER Weather Plus, the first locally originated 24/7 weather channel in Maine. WLBZ 2 is proud and honored to be the Bangor television station you watch.

Annoying Infomercials

You sometimes have to put up with a 5+ minute infomercial before watching the live news. Very annoying!

I want to view the live news at 6 or 11 and it gives me the commercial but only black screen after. ive tried deleting app and reinstall but no good -- when I go to the chan 5 app the live broadcast plays flawless... Very disappointed w quality of chan 2 app.. the older version of the app would play the live broadcasts. what happened?!?

Launch Services
macOS Launch Services is an API that enables a running app to open other apps or their document files, similar to the Finder or the Dock.Launch Services eliminates apps having to query the Finder to open an app, document, or URL for them. The macOS Finder itself uses Launch Services to perform such tasks. Because the Finder performs no additional processing beyond calling Launch Services, any client using Launch Services for these purposes behaves identically to the Finder.
AVFoundation
The AV Foundation framework provides an Objective-C interface for managing and playing audio-visual media in iOS and OS X applications.
Core Foundation Framework
Core Foundation is a framework that provides fundamental software services useful to application services, application environments, and to applications themselves. Core Foundation also provides abstractions for common data types, facilitates internationalization with Unicode string storage, and offers a suite of utilities such as plug-in support, XML property lists, URL resource access, and preferences.
Core Graphics
The Core Graphics framework is based on the Quartz advanced drawing engine. It provides low-level, lightweight 2D rendering with unmatched output fidelity. You use this framework to handle path-based drawing, transformations, color management, offscreen rendering, patterns, gradients and shadings, image data management, image creation, and image masking, as well as PDF document creation, display, and parsing.
Foundation Framework
The Foundation framework provides a base layer of functionality for apps and frameworks, including data storage and persistence, text processing, date and time calculations, sorting and filtering, and networking. The classes, protocols, and data types defined by Foundation are used throughout the macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS SDKs.
MobileCoreServices
Use uniform type identifier (UTI) information to create and manipulate data that can be exchanged between your app and other apps and services using MobileCoreServices.
Quartz Core Framework
Allow users to browse, edit, and save images, using slideshows and Core Image filters.The Quartz Composer API supports processing and rendering graphical data and allows developers to create custom patches for the Quartz Composer developer tool. ImageKit provides user interface support for browsing, editing, and saving images, showing slideshows, and browsing and previewing Core Image filters. PDFKit is a technology that allows applications to display and manipulate PDF documents.
System Configuration F...
This collection of documents describes the programming interfaces of the System Configuration framework. The System Configuration framework provides functions that determine the reachability of target hosts in both a synchronous and an asynchronous manner. It also provides error detection facilities.
Core Location Framework
The Core Location framework lets you determine the current location or heading associated with a device. The framework uses the available hardware to determine the user’s position and heading. You use the classes and protocols in this framework to configure and schedule the delivery of location and heading events. You can also use it to define geographic regions and monitor when the user crosses the boundaries of those regions. In iOS, you can also define a region around a Bluetooth beacon.
UIKit
The UIKit framework (UIKit.framework) provides the crucial infrastructure needed to construct and manage iOS apps. This framework provides the window and view architecture needed to manage an app’s user interface, the event handling infrastructure needed to respond to user input, and the app model needed to drive the main run loop and interact with the system.
