GBH, a State Owned entity based in the US, was established in 1951 and employs approximately 1290 people. The organization specializes in Broadcast Media Production and Distribution, functioning as an American public broadcasting group based in Boston, Massachusetts. It holds the licenses to all PBS member stations in Massachusetts and operates its flagship station WGBH-TV, sister station WGBX-TV, and a group of NPR member stations within the state.
On July 6, 2026, GBH announced growth in its donor base and launched a new statewide radio show, an initiative following its merger with New England Public Media of Western Massachusetts. The organization also confirmed receipt of new state funding, a development its CEO Susan Goldberg described as innovating through a crisis. This funding stems from a $500,000 appropriation by Massachusetts, which went into effect on July 1 for GBH's educational public media resources, an unusual step for public broadcasters in the state. Governor Maura Healey signed the fiscal year 2027 legislation that included these funds, derived from a 4% state surtax on income over $1 million, on June 12. Earlier, on June 10, the Federal Communications Commission approved GBH's merger with Springfield-based New England Public Media, creating a combined media outfit projected to reach at least 1.3 million readers, viewers, and listeners statewide each week. GBH President and CEO Susan Goldberg called the merger's approval a "profound milestone for public media in our state."
