For more than 60 years, WPSU has been a steady friend to Central and Northern Pennsylvania–bringing us trusted news, educational programs and stories that reflect the heart of our region. It’s one of the few institutions that truly connects our rural and urban communities.

WPSU is now at a crossroad. With Penn State ending its financial support, the station’s future–and our access to independent, local public media–is at risk. WPSU needs a new path forward.

The good news is that one exists. WHYY has stepped up with a plan to acquire WPSU while keeping its identity local and its mission rooted right here at home. This isn’t a takeover–it’s a partnership designed to protect local journalism, strengthen educational and cultural programming, and ensure that free, non-commercial media continues to reach every household in our region.

This partnership would:

— Keep local journalism anchored in Central and Northern Pennsylvania.

— Preserve and expand educational, cultural and children’s programming.

— Amplify community voices across radio and television.

— Provide long-term stability through collaboration with WHYY.

For this plan to move forward, our community must stand behind it. Public media survives only because people like us choose to keep it strong.

Donate at www.wpsu.org/donate. Every dollar goes directly to WPSU’s operations and long-term sustainability.

Advocate by telling friends, neighbors and community leaders why public media matters.
