Georgia Public Broadcasting, Public broadcasting network in Atlanta, United States
Georgia Public Broadcasting is a public broadcasting network operating television and radio stations throughout the state. It delivers news, educational content, and entertainment programs to residents across Georgia.
The network was founded in 1960 as WGTV at the University of Georgia to provide educational television. By 1964, it had expanded to include five stations to reach classrooms across the state.
The network partners with local communities to present programs about Georgia's traditions, from regional gardening practices to high school sports competitions. These shows help viewers feel connected to what happens in their own neighborhoods and across the state.
Visitors can find online information about where stations broadcast and what programs are currently available. The website also offers free learning materials for students and teachers to access.
The organization runs nine full-power television stations and multiple radio frequencies, broadcasting both national PBS and NPR content alongside programs made for Georgia. This blend of national and locally produced shows is uncommon for public broadcasters.
