"The citadel of science programming...a leader in drama, public affairs, 'how-to,' and music...a high-tech horn of plenty that has married its vast programming skills with a variety of technologies."
— The New York Times
About WGBH
This entire Web site is about WGBH, so why do we need this page?
Well, it seems that there are people who don't know anything about WGBH, so a few words of introduction are warranted.
From WIkipedia
WGBH is an established public television and public radio broadcast service located in Boston, Massachusetts. It operates over ten stations — primarily WGBH 2 and WGBX 44 (television), and WGBH 89.7 FM (radio). WGBH is a member of PBS in regard to its television broadcasts, and both a member of NPR and an affiliate of PRI for its radio broadcasts. The license-holder is the WGBH Educational Foundation.
WGBH produces many shows for the above organizations, including nearly a third of PBS's national prime-time TV. Programs produced for PBS include NOVA, Frontline, American Experience, The Victory Garden and This Old House.
Recognized for its contributions to non-commercial educational television programming, WGBH is also a leader in services for people who are deaf, hard-of-hearing, blind, or visually impaired. WGBH invented television closed captioning and the Descriptive Video Service (DVS); they provide these access services to commercial and public TV producers, and to home video, Web sites, and movie theaters nationwide.

Editors needed
The WGBH Wikipedia article does not convey the Foundation's rich history going back to the days of the Lowell institute.
However, WGBH staff members are discouraged from editing the article due to Wikipedia's conflict-of-interest guidelines.
