Primetime 24
WSEE has been part of the Primetime 24 lineup since the late-1990s, when it replaced Raleigh's WRAL-TV due to that station's regular preemptions of CBS programming. The Primetime 24 service provides American network TV service to C-Band viewers in Latin America, the Caribbean, and in rural parts of the US where local signals are not available. WSEE's PT24 feed varies from the local Erie feed, in which local commercials are replaced with ads directed towards the Caribbean (especially direct response ads). Also, WSEE's local newscasts are replaced with infomercials, though there's a pre-taped, brief Caribbean weather forecast by WSEE's weather staff (often in tropical garb) at 11PM ET.
