WSBE Rhode Island PBS, a privately owned entity headquartered in the US, was founded in 1967 and operates with approximately 60 employees. The organization specializes in broadcast media production and distribution, serving as a public television station for Rhode Island.
Ocean State Media, Rhode Island's NPR and PBS organization, partnered with 11 libraries across the state on July 7, 2026, for "The Books That Grew Us," a new program aiming to help Rhode Islanders explore the power and impact of media. Previously, on June 17, 2026, a majority of employees on the editorial team at Ocean State Media voted to form a union with SAG-AFTRA, a development reported over several days in late June, including on June 18, June 22, and June 25, 2026.
