WGLT, a privately owned company based in the US, was founded in 1966 and employs approximately 30 individuals. The company specializes in Broadcast Media Production and Distribution.
On February 11, 2026, WGLT joined four other Illinois-based newsrooms for the "Democracy Lives Here" Healing Illinois Reporting Project. This initiative, led by the Northwestern University Medill School and Medill Solutions Journalism Hub, aims to create a playbook for citizen engagement with local government. Previously, on December 10, 2025, WGLT announced staff reorganizations and 2026 programming changes. These adjustments sought to align operations and content with current staffing levels and revenue, following an emergency funding campaign and annual fall fund drive necessitated by the absence of federal funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) nearly midway through the fiscal year.
