WLBZ is the NBC-affiliated television station for Bangor, Maine. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on VHF channel 2 from a transmitter on Rider Bluff in Holden. Owned by Gannett, the station has studios on Mount Hope Avenue in Bangor. On cable, it serves as the default NBC affiliate for the Presque Isle market as that area does not have an affiliate of its own. WLBZ is sister station and semi-satellite of Portland's NBC affiliate, WCSH. Although the two stations are based in different locations and serve different media markets, they essentially operate as one station. With their combined resources, this allows statewide coverage that no other station in Maine can offer. For the most part, WLBZ simulcasts WCSH during network and syndicated programming that includes Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and Judge Alex. However, this station airs its own station identifications and commercials. The station's signal is multiplexed. In addition to its main signals, WLBZ operates a low-powered analog translator and repeater. WGCI-LP has an application to broadcast a low-powered digital signal. W57AQ has an FCC-issued construction permit to broadcast a low-powered digital signal on
