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.
GBH expanded its donor base, received new funding from Beacon Hill, and launched a new statewide radio show on July 6, 2026, following its merger with New England Public Media of Western Massachusetts. Earlier, on July 1, Massachusetts appropriated $500,000 for GBH, an unusual move as the state typically does not fund public broadcasters. Governor Maura Healey signed the fiscal year 2027 legislation on June 12, specifying the funds for GBH's educational public media resources, with the funding derived from a 4% state surtax on income over $1 million. This state funding development followed the Federal Communications Commission's approval of the merger between GBH and Springfield-based New England Public Media on June 10, creating a media entity expected to reach at least 1.3 million readers, viewers, and listeners statewide each week. GBH President and CEO Susan Goldberg called the merger a "profound milestone" for public media in the state.
