WCTE PBS continues to take proactive measures to ensure that viewers over the air, on digital media and in print are served and connected during this time of uncertainty. The station continues to practice all CDC required safety measures to ensure our staff and community stay healthy and avoid the spread or contamination from COVID-19.

“We hope viewers are enjoying all the WCTE PBS programming, county updates with County Mayor Randy Porter and Mayor Ricky Shelton, as well as the Live at 5 on Fridays,” said Avery Hutchins, director of development. “Additionally, for those families with school aged children, WCTE PBS has provided links on our website to online K-12th grade learning media.”
