WGBY is a privately owned company based in the US. Founded in 1971, the company operates with approximately 30 employees. It specializes in broadcast media production and distribution.
On June 10, 2026, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved the merger between GBH and Springfield-based New England Public Media (NEPM), forming a media organization projected to reach at least 1.3 million people across Massachusetts weekly. GBH President and CEO Susan Goldberg described the approval as a "profound milestone for public media in our state." Previously, on May 7, 2026, Goldberg indicated that concerns over financial resources and how best to serve Massachusetts were key factors for the merger, noting that informal discussions with NEPM President Matt Abramovitz began in late 2022. This followed the May 4, 2026, announcement that after seven years of collaboration, GBH and NEPM planned to formally merge by summer 2026 to create a statewide media organization. Earlier, on May 2, 2026, the organizations announced their intent to merge to expand local journalism and the statewide news network. The initial plans to merge operations were announced on May 1, 2026, with the organizations citing decreased federal funding for local public media and the goal of combining back-office operations to improve efficiencies.
