We serve and reflect the needs of the region.

Since 1983, WQPT PBS has walked with regional residents through joys and sorrows, triumphs and challenges, in good times and more difficult ones. As much as things have changed, one thing remains consistent—public media is a shared experience.

So, no matter whether you grew up in Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood, were mesmerized by Bob Ross’ Joy of Painting, are enthralled with the latest offerings from Masterpiece or are better able to make sense of the world through the PBS NewsHour or the films of FRONTLINE and Ken Burns, we are grateful to be a part of your life.
