WGBH

Time you got around to sponsoring a child
WGBH is Boston, Massachusetts' longtime public television and public radio station (PBS and NPR affiliates, respectively). WGBH also produces many shows for both networks, including nearly a third of PBS's prime-time TV. WGBH received its first broadcasting license in 1951 under the auspices of the Lowell Institute Cooperative Broadcasting Council, a consortium of local universities which had previously produced programs for broadcast by commercial stations.

WGBH is also a leader in services for the disabled. They invented television closed captioning and audio description, created the Rear Window Captioning system for movies and the Descriptive Video Service (DVS).
