WPSX-TV is Pennsylvania's only public television station licensed to a higher education institution. Penn State is a land-grant institution with a distinguished record of service to the people and the state of Pennsylvania. WPSX-TV has moved naturally into a diverse set of responsibilities to educate, to enlighten, and to entertain.
WPSX-TV is the hub of a complex set of telecommunications distribution systems that carry the programs of its creative staff to homes, schools, businesses, industries, hospitals, retirement communities - wherever people live and work. The full-time staff is supplemented by student and volunteer help from schools, colleges and universities, and communities.
In the past several years, WPSX has increased its commitment to local programming with numerous specials and projects. The public affairs initiatives of WPSX-TV includes regular Community Call-In programs on a variety of Central Pennsylvania issues and systematic efforts to provide access to the station for political candidates during state and national election campaigns.
Besides the satisfactions of educational and community programming, WPSX-TV provides general cultural, public affairs, and performance programs for audiences throughout the state.
