Encyclopedia > Georgia Public Radio

Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB) is the statewide network of Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and National Public Radio (NPR) affiliates in the U.S. state of Georgia. It is headquartered in the state capital of Atlanta, and consists of two divisions: one for radio and the other for television.


Georgia Public Radio

Formerly called Peach State Public Radio, GPR broadcasts 24 hours per day on FM (and one AM) stations across the state, except ironically in Atlanta, where the local NPR station is run by the city's board of education. GPR's downtown Atlanta translator station (callsign W264AE) was put off the air when a full-power station was moved in from Alabama on an adjacent channel. However, GPR can still be heard on the second audio program (SAP) of GPTV at most times.


Georgia Public Television

GPB Television (formerly GPTV) broadcasts PBS and GPB programming 24 hours per day on nine GPB-owned stations across the state, plus numerous low-power LPTV translator stations (especially in the mountains). The Descriptive Video Service can be heard on the SAP channel when the current program offers it, and GPR can be heard when it does not.

New Georgia Encyclopedia: Georgia Public Broadcasting (993 words)
Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB), which includes GPB Television, GPB Radio, and the Education and Technology Services (ETS) Division, serves Georgia by providing music, news, and educational products and services.
In 1960 public television in the state, known as Georgia Educational Television, began with station WGTV, located in Athens at the University of Georgia Center for Continuing Education.
In 1982 the license for Georgia Educational Television was transferred from the University of Georgia to the Georgia Public Telecommunications Commission, and later that year it officially became Georgia Public Television, with headquarters in Atlanta.
