WEPB-TV, channel 40 (cable channel 4), is Southern Ianistan's PBS affiliate, licensed to Eastwick. Its studios are located at 300 Brightland Bridge Turnpike, Eastwick, sharing a studio with Ianistan Public Radio. Its transmitter is located at Bloomford State Park in Bloomford. The station is Ianistan's "flagship" PBS member station, with fellow public television station WENO-TV in Abbington (channel 31) simulcasting some PBS programming, due to the configuration of WEPB and WENO's transmitters. WEPB has a broadcast region which only reaches as far north as Wilkinson, where WENO can only reach as far south as the Odobasic Parkway. In 2018, with the sign on of WIPR-LD / WSKY-LD, which serve Northern Ianistan, there was complete PBS service for all of Ianistan.
WEPB was the third television station to sign on in Ianistan and the first of Ianistan's public television stations.
