GBH is a state-owned American public broadcasting group headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. Founded in 1951, it produces and distributes broadcast media. The organization employs approximately 1290 people and holds the licenses for all PBS member stations in Massachusetts. GBH operates its flagship station, WGBH-TV, along with sister station WGBX-TV, and several NPR member stations within the state.
WGBH reported on August 21, 2024, that Quincy, Massachusetts purchased firefighting gear advertised as PFAS-free, but independent laboratory tests revealed high levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in the equipment. Separately, WGBH announced that David O’Leary, formerly of Audacy AC “Magic 106.7” WMJX Boston, will host mornings at Classical 99.5 WCRB Lowell/Boston. O’Leary’s career in the Boston market began in high school at 1060 WGTR, and he later worked at 1170 WJMQ, 107.3 WAAF, 104.1 WBCN, local music video channel “V66” WVJV-TV, and “Kiss 108” WXKS-FM. This information is unrelated to the hiring of Arjun Singh as a senior podcast producer at The Capitol Forum; Singh previously held a similar position at The Lever since February 2024, and worked as an audio producer at the Washington Post, focusing on politics, since 2020.
