WCTE, also known as channel 22, is a privately owned entity, owned by the Upper Cumberland Broadcast Council, operating from Cookeville, Tennessee, United States. Founded in 1978, the company operates with an estimated 30 employees, specializing in Broadcast Media Production and Distribution. Functioning as a PBS member television station, it serves the Upper Cumberland region. Its original studios were located within the west-side stadium construction of Tucker Stadium on the campus of Tennessee Technological University on North Peachtree Avenue; after an extensive relocation effort, the studios are now located on East Broad Street in downtown Cookeville, adjacent to the Putnam County courthouse. The station's transmitter is situated northwest of Monterey, Tennessee. While Cookeville is part of the Nashville market, WCTE also extends its service to the western fringe of the Knoxville market.
