WGBY Public Television

Partner Profile 

WGBY, public television for western New England, connects its viewers with ideas and events to fulfill their aspirations, enrich their lives, and improve their communities.  Our organization combines the special power of ideas communicated through images, sound, and words with the ability to reach out to people throughout our region. Recognized locally and nationally for its commitment to its community, WGBY strongly adheres to the values of promoting excellence, integrity, respect, inclusion, diversity, creativity, and lifelong learning to realize out mission and vision.

Our Mission

One of the strongest components of WGBY’s mission is our commitment to education.  As a participant in the Corporation for Public Broadcasting’s Ready to Learn program since the 1990s, WGBY has offered educational workshops to low-income families and day care providers on topics such as healthy habits, early literacy, and healthy co-viewing habits for television.  With more recent projects such as Ready to Lead in Literacy and Travellin’ Tales, WGBY seeks every opportunity to make connections with the early childhood community.
