Changes are coming soon to the lineups of WICU-TV and WSEE-TV.
Erie's NBC and CBS affiliates, both owned by Lilly Broadcasting, will no longer broadcast separate newscasts on weekday mornings and evenings.
The move, which will begin Oct. 12, means WICU and WSEE will air an identical newscast at 6 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. They'll do the same for their weekday 11 p.m. newscasts.
WSEE and WICU also will merge their morning weekday newscasts into one program, with one set of anchors.

It they can merge the newscasts, they might as well merge the stations. Let's see if Lilly can pull off what other broadcasters have done/are doing in smaller markets:
WICU: 12.1 NBC (1080i HD), 12.2 CBS (720p HD)
WSEE: 35.1 CW (1080i HD), possible call sign change to WBEP
--OR--
WSEE: 35.1 CBS (1080i HD), 35.2 NBC (720p HD)
WICU: 12.1 CW (1080i HD), possible call sign change to WBEP
