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 September 5, 2026, public media leaders expressed hope that mergers could protect stations following a federal funding slash, with the Federal Communications Commission having approved the GBH and New England Public Radio merger in July. The merged stations had previously lost over $20 million combined in federal funding. Earlier, on September 4, the GBH-produced documentary series "American Experience" reported success with its new digital strategy, despite production being paused last year after federal funding rescission caused cuts to its support from CPB and PBS. On September 3, GBH announced new educational resources and original content, including a special episode of GBH News’ “The Big Dig” podcast, to mark the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001. This followed the July 30 announcement that "AMERICAN EXPERIENCE" would return in 2027 with new limited-series documentaries for PBS, having achieved significant digital growth with over 19 million video views in the preceding five months, a 273 percent increase year-over-year. Previously, on July 6, GBH grew its donor base, secured new state funding from Beacon Hill, and launched a new statewide radio show following its merger with New England Public Media of Western Massachusetts.
