And through citizen engagement initiatives such as It's Our City, we give you unprecedented opportunities to make your opinions count toward the advancement of life in our region.


Your Ticket to First-Class Entertainment

We give you a front-row seat to enjoy performances from around the corner and across the globe. Our own weekly performing arts series and signature public TV and radio programs introduce you to new talents making their mark in our region and beyond, while taking you backstage to learn more about the creative process. Whenever you want it, WHYY has your ticket to the very best cultural arts information and entertainment.


Education That Encourages Curiosity

We devote 11 hours every weekday to broadcasting television programs that educate and engage our young viewers. Parents and caregivers value this safe haven, and children are better prepared for success in school because of the lessons they learn from Curious George, Big Bird, Sid the Science Kid, Arthur, Clifford and more colorful and trusted friends. Our Y Kids Club builds upon these lessons by creating off-air experiences that stretch young imaginations and nurture the entire family.
