WWSI (channel 62) is a television station licensed to Mount Laurel, New Jersey, United States, serving as the Philadelphia-area outlet for the Spanish-language network Telemundo. It is owned and operated by NBCUniversal's Telemundo Station Group alongside NBC outlet WCAU (channel 10); it is also sister to regional sports network NBC Sports Philadelphia. The stations' studios are located in Comcast Technology Center on Arch Street in Center City, and they are broadcast from one transmitter in the Roxborough section of Philadelphia.
Channel 62 was assigned to Atlantic City, New Jersey, in 1984 as part of a proceeding to improve local television service throughout the state. Garden State Communications obtained the construction permit in 1987, but construction activity only progressed in 2000, after Council Tree Communications bought a majority stake. The station signed on the air in January 2001 as a Telemundo affiliate, the first in the Philadelphia market in over a year, and aired little local programming first under Council Tree and later ZGS Communications ownership. In 2013, NBC acquired WWSI, which it has integrated with WCAU. This included the 2014 launch of local Spanish-language news and the 2018 move into the Comcast Technology Center. After selling the station's spectrum, WWSI began transmitting from WCAU's tower in 2018 and changed its city of license.
