About this hub
West Virginia Public Broadcasting (WVPB) is the statewide public television and radio network for West Virginia, headquartered in Charleston and providing PBS programming, NPR content, and locally produced material to communities throughout a state with one of the most challenging media landscapes in the country.
WVPB operates television and radio stations serving West Virginia communities from the Northern Panhandle to the Eastern Panhandle and southern coalfields, producing West Virginia-focused documentary and public affairs programming, legislative coverage, and cultural content celebrating and examining the state's complex Appalachian identity alongside national PBS and NPR programming.
West Virginia residents across the state - from Charleston and Huntington to the remote coalfield communities of McDowell County and the farming communities of the Eastern Panhandle - rely on WVPB for the public television and radio programming that commercial media in a low-density, economically challenged state cannot sustain, making it an essential civic institution in a state where public broadcasting genuinely has no replacement.
