About Us
NEW ENGLAND PUBLIC MEDIA
New name. Same great programming.
NEPM builds on the proud legacy and existing strengths of WGBY-TV and New England Public Radio. The programs you know and love are still available—and now enhanced by new offerings from our team of experienced reporters, thoughtful educators, dedicated producers, and engaging hosts. As we break down the boundaries between TV and radio, we’re eager to identify the new stories we’ll tell together.
Through a deep commitment to independent local journalism, trusted educational content, inspired cultural offerings, and civic engagement, NEPM endeavors to share new voices and inspire new conversations. It provides audiences with a broad array of local and national programs across all media—TV, radio, online, and mobile, including PBS and NPR programs as well as locally produced series, podcasts and specials. Its four digital TV channels, and two radio networks present news, jazz and classical music, documentaries, talk, drama, plus cultural and educational programming. New England Public Media is a community-supported, independent non-profit organization based in Springfield, MA.
