The Corporation for Public Broadcasting to cease operations on September 30th.

NEPM (formerly WGBY) was actually a spin-off from WGBH in the first place so this is kind of a homecoming of sorts. I'm all for it!

The WGBH Educational Foundation still holds the WGBY license; NEPM has been the operator since 2019.

Did PBS moved their childrens programming elsewhere to streaming platforms after the shutdown?

 

PBS hasn't gone away yet.

Yeah. PBS is still around, just like NPR.

 

Every day they're still around is a huge middle finger to the president and those who oppose public broadcasting.

Only seven and a half months after this, WEIU-TV is going off the air. May 15th will be their final day on air.

And just like that, WEIU-TV has signed off for the final time.

 

Here's a behind the scenes look at the whole process.

WBGU won't become The Ohio Channel after all. Instead, it'll remain a PBS member station as WGTE will take over operations of the station starting July 1st.

Unless a white knight steps in, WSRE is still slated to lose PBS programming on June 30th.

As far as I know, the WSRE foundation is still fighting for independence from Pensacola State College, who owns WSRE-TV itself.  They could realistically resurrect WSRE's PBS programming on another channel if they had the ability to do so.

Another possibility could be Florida State University stepping in to run/buy WSRE and relay the programming from Tallahassee's WFSU that's repeated on WFSG in Panama City.  That station only reaches to Fort Walton Beach, while WSRE picks up coverage from there all the way into Mobile with their transmitter located near the others in Baldwin County Alabama between Mobile and Pensacola.
