Residents of Central and Northern Pennsylvania are at risk of losing access to the first-class news and entertainment WPSU has provided them for more than 70 years.
WPSU now faces a turning point. With Penn State withdrawing funding for the station, alternative sources of funding are necessary to keep this essential public service alive.
Fortunately, a solution is available. WHYY has offered a bold and compassionate plan to acquire WPSU--and, crucially, to maintain it as the independent, community-driven public media service that our region deserves. It's not a takeover; it's a partnership between WHYY and WPSU committed to safeguarding local programming and providing free non-commercial media to our region.
This joint venture will ensure that
• Local journalism remains rooted in Central and Northern Pennsylvania,
• Educational, informational, and entertainment programming is available for all ages.
• Community voices are heard through independent, non-commercial radio and television.
• WPSU maintains its independent identity, strengthened by WHYY's support.
The plan's success depends on people like you--people who know that public media keeps communities strong through information and connection, that democracy depends on education.
Stand up for your community by supporting this venture: Donate. Advocate.Educate.
