Licensee of WSRE ends PBS affiliation for the Pensacola TV market.

I assume you're referring to their on-air ID. Their website and Facebook page still have the PBS logo, and ironically enough, the web page has testimonials from viewers talking about how much they love PBS.
WSRE is now airing multiple reruns of Antiques Roadshow before going independent.
Let me elaborate. WSRE got a new on-air ID with their logo changed to a simplified text saying "WSRE; Pensacola, Florida", removing the PBS logo and showing the tower clock at Pensacola State College.
The new schedule is out.
The only good thing is Nightmare Theatre every night at 10pm.

The maps are generous. In Pensacola you need a rooftop antenna to pick up WEIQ.
I'm still made they dropped the old Doctor Who and Mystery Science Theater 3000 block.
Heck, I have an outdoor antenna and still have issues with them and I'm in the Foley area.
WSRE is off for right now, I am hoping it will be back at midnight or in the morning?
Edit: It's still up.

Final show WSRE ever aired as a PBS station before switching to Educational independent was Finding Your Roots: Secret Lives with Carol Burnett and Niecy Nash. The episode was at thr near end when it was cut to the new WSRE on-air ID before cutting to The Florida Channel. World, PBS Kids, and Create had their programming cut to the same on-air ID before they all went dark.
End of era for Pensacola ans Fort Walton Beach... they will have to find other ways to watch PBS programing.

They might be able to, but it the programming would need to be non-commercial if it is on a 23.x subchannel. Another option would be to enter into a spectrum sharing agreement with another LPTV or full power station that wished to give up its spectrum. The difference is that the other station would operating on its own license (and channel number), so it wouldn't be bound by WSRE's non-commercial license.
