About

Originally headquartered at the Congress Square Hotel (and so the call letters 'CSH'), WCSH-TV began telecasting on Sunday afternoon, December 20, 1953. William H. Rines and Maine Governor Burton M. Cross took part in the dedication ceremonies. Founded by the Rines family, owners of the Congress Square Hotel and WCSH Radio, the television station was a natural addition. In 1977, under the leadership of Mary Rines-Thompson WCSH 6 was moved to One Congress Square, where we continue to operate today.

Local news coverage was a major consideration right from the start. From the original Channel 6 News Journal to present day WCSH NEWS CENTER 6, the people of NEWS CENTER have won the loyalty and trust of more Maine viewers than any other Maine news and information source. Utilizing the strength of sister station WLBZ 2 in Bangor, NEWS CENTER is truly the largest statewide news and weather service. WCSH 6 has featured NBC Network news, primetime and sports programming since our sign-on. NBC Nightly News, The Today Show and The Tonight Show have continued to be favorite choices for television viewing.

WCSH 6 has produced many favorite local programs. Romper Room, Weekday, Youth Cavalcade and The Dave Astor Show are just a few of the most memorable ones. Currently, Bill Green's Maine and NEWS CENTER's 207 Magazine are viewer favorites. Community service is a very important part of the success of WCSH 6. Efforts including, 6 Who Care, Teens Who Care, Alive and Well and Coats for Kids are just a few of the ways WCSH 6 contributes to the well being of the community. Also, for more than 40 years, the WCSH 6 Art Festival had drawn tens of thousands to downtown Portland on a Saturday in August to enjoy and perhaps purchase a piece of artwork.

In 1998, the Rines-Thompson family sold WCSH 6 and sister station WLBZ 2 to Gannett Co., Inc., a leading international news and information company. In the mid-90's, WCSH 6 and NEWS CENTER expanded our program delivery to include WCSH6.com. In 2002, WCSH-DT signed on the air, bringing high definition television to Southern Maine. In 2015, Gannett spun its publishing properties from its broadcast and digital properties, making WCSH 6 part of TEGNA Media, one of the largest, most geographically diverse broadcasters in the U.S.

Awful

Screen takes WAY to long to respond to touches and swipes. Junk.

A bit buggy

Good content but poor presentation--primarily when looking at a blog post on weather none of the graphics appear!

No option to stream latest news

I have watched channel 6 ever since I moved to Maine 18 years ago. The lack of options to watch to stream entire newscast on my iPhone or Apple TV is very disappointing. When I get home from work at 1am, I find myself watching WMTW. I also have to add that I haven't been able to watch the news live on the app at all, or all I get is commercials. The WMTW app is much more user friendly.

No audio on live stream

I stream channel 6 on my iPad in the morning to get my news and weather - It is my only news source. Unfortunately, quite frequently the live stream feature does not work. There does not seem to be a rhyme or reason to it. Nothing different on this end, so it is unlikely conductivity on my end.

An excellent App! I recommend it to all my new home buyers! I have no doubts about them liking it!
Launch Services
macOS Launch Services is an API that enables a running app to open other apps or their document files, similar to the Finder or the Dock.Launch Services eliminates apps having to query the Finder to open an app, document, or URL for them. The macOS Finder itself uses Launch Services to perform such tasks. Because the Finder performs no additional processing beyond calling Launch Services, any client using Launch Services for these purposes behaves identically to the Finder.
AVFoundation
The AV Foundation framework provides an Objective-C interface for managing and playing audio-visual media in iOS and OS X applications.
Core Foundation Framework
Core Foundation is a framework that provides fundamental software services useful to application services, application environments, and to applications themselves. Core Foundation also provides abstractions for common data types, facilitates internationalization with Unicode string storage, and offers a suite of utilities such as plug-in support, XML property lists, URL resource access, and preferences.
Core Graphics
The Core Graphics framework is based on the Quartz advanced drawing engine. It provides low-level, lightweight 2D rendering with unmatched output fidelity. You use this framework to handle path-based drawing, transformations, color management, offscreen rendering, patterns, gradients and shadings, image data management, image creation, and image masking, as well as PDF document creation, display, and parsing.
Foundation Framework
The Foundation framework provides a base layer of functionality for apps and frameworks, including data storage and persistence, text processing, date and time calculations, sorting and filtering, and networking. The classes, protocols, and data types defined by Foundation are used throughout the macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS SDKs.
MobileCoreServices
Use uniform type identifier (UTI) information to create and manipulate data that can be exchanged between your app and other apps and services using MobileCoreServices.
Quartz Core Framework
Allow users to browse, edit, and save images, using slideshows and Core Image filters.The Quartz Composer API supports processing and rendering graphical data and allows developers to create custom patches for the Quartz Composer developer tool. ImageKit provides user interface support for browsing, editing, and saving images, showing slideshows, and browsing and previewing Core Image filters. PDFKit is a technology that allows applications to display and manipulate PDF documents.
System Configuration F...
This collection of documents describes the programming interfaces of the System Configuration framework. The System Configuration framework provides functions that determine the reachability of target hosts in both a synchronous and an asynchronous manner. It also provides error detection facilities.
Core Location Framework
The Core Location framework lets you determine the current location or heading associated with a device. The framework uses the available hardware to determine the user’s position and heading. You use the classes and protocols in this framework to configure and schedule the delivery of location and heading events. You can also use it to define geographic regions and monitor when the user crosses the boundaries of those regions. In iOS, you can also define a region around a Bluetooth beacon.
UIKit
The UIKit framework (UIKit.framework) provides the crucial infrastructure needed to construct and manage iOS apps. This framework provides the window and view architecture needed to manage an app’s user interface, the event handling infrastructure needed to respond to user input, and the app model needed to drive the main run loop and interact with the system.
