The station's production and development facilities are located at the Kugelman Center for Telecommunications on the Pensacola State main campus. Its transmitter is located near Robertsdale, Alabama.

Production Facilities[]
WSRE is home to three fully equipped television studios. The largest being WSRE's Studio A, otherwise known as the Jean & Paul Amos Performance Studio. The Jean & Paul Amos Performance is an 18,000 sq ft (1,700 m2) fully featured television soundstage offering 500 seats of stadium seating, which is retractable to allow for more soundstage space. Studio B also offers all of the technical capability of Studio A, with more moderate floor space designed for live or pre-recorded programming without a live audience. Most of the station's local programming is produced in Studio B. Studio C is a much smaller studio and is almost exclusively used for television programs and segments designed for satellite uplinks. MSNBC's Scarborough Country (now known as Morning Joe) was frequently produced in Studio C when former Representative Joe Scarborough was in Pensacola.
