“WQED was the nation’s first community-supported television station and went on the air on April 1, 1954.  In 1973, Classical WQED-FM 89.3 was founded as the region’s only 24-hour classical radio station.

Today, WQED is educational public media with five television programming streams: WQED-TV; WQED Create; WQED WORLD; WQED Showcase; and WQED PBS Kids Channel. Three radio streams include: WQED-FM 89.3; WQEJ-FM 89.7/Johnstown; The Pittsburgh Concert Channel at WQED-FM HD-2 and www.wqed.org/fm online provide WQED content for free to all residents in the viewing and listening area, and online around the world;  local and national television and radio productions; WQED Interactive, and a nationally-recognized educational initiative.

WQED has a proud history of honors, including 166 National and Mid-Atlantic Emmy® Awards, an Academy Award, and many, many others, including four Mid-Atlantic Emmy® Awards for Overall Excellence.

Throughout its history, WQED has partnered with hundreds of local community organizations toward improvements in education; arts and culture; community health; economics; and important local issues through its unique form of civic journalism.  These partnerships are a hallmark of WQED’s mission and are an important part of its daily activities.  As the only community-owned multimedia resource in the region, WQED is a convener, a central gathering place, and a conduit for other local non-profit organizations.”
