WXXI Public Broadcasting Council is a privately owned company headquartered in the US. Founded in 1958, it employs approximately 140 people and specializes in broadcast media production and distribution.
WXXI Public Broadcasting Council is set to co-host a special screening and community discussion of the film "Make a Circle" with Monroe Community College (MCC) at the MCC Downtown Campus on April 8, 2026. This event follows the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) board's vote on January 6, 2026, to dissolve after Congress cut $9 billion in federal funding last summer, eliminating support for public media stations including WXXI. Previously, on January 5, 2026, Diane Kaplan resigned from the CPB board of directors, noting her pride in being the first and only Alaskan to serve. These developments align with WXXI's ongoing reinvention efforts, which commenced after the organization lost $1.9 million in annual federal funding from the CPB. As of November 6, 2025, CEO Chris Hastings announced plans to expand production services and partnerships, leveraging assets such as CITY magazine and The Little Theatre for revenue. Earlier, on October 1, 2025, WXXI Classical reported the contract extension for Andreas Delfs as Music Director of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, a role he assumed in January 2021.
