WCEU is a PBS member station in Daytona Beach, Florida. It is owned and operated by Daytona Beach Community College and has its studios at the Center for Educational Telecommunications on the DBCC campus. It is licensed to nearby New Smyrna Beach.
In 1985, DBCC, Bethune-Cookman College, Stetson University, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and the Atlantic Center for the Arts formed the Coastal Educational Broadcasters in order to bring a public television station to Volusia and Flagler counties. They felt WMFE, the PBS station in Orlando, was neglecting Daytona Beach. In February 1988, WCEU signed on with a limited schedule of three hours a day, three days a week. Support in the area was enough that within nine months, it was recognized by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. By January 1989, it was a full-fledged PBS station, though it didn't expand to a fuller broadcast day until 1993.
In 1992, a signal expansion and must-carry rules expanded WCEU's audience to over 1.3 million viewers in Central Florida, including Orlando itself. It moved to its current facility in 1999. DBCC became the sole licensee in 2002.
In 2005, WCEU rebranded itself as DBCC Public Broadcasting to better reflect its relationship with DBCC.
