WPSX-TV Officially Changes Call Letters to WPSU-TV

Penn State Public Broadcasting (PSPB) and Penn State Continuing Education are celebrating the opening of their new Outreach Building and the consolidation of PSPB's call letters to WPSU.

On October 15th, WPSX-TV officially changed its call letters to WPSU-TV, complimenting the radio station, which is already WPSU-FM.

"Our new station identity will be WPSU -- WPSU television, WPSU radio and WPSU digital broadcasting. We'll have the same quality programming from PBS and National Public Radio our viewers and listeners depend on through the same channels they now receive at home or in the car," said Ted Krichels, associate vice president for outreach and general manager. " With our new location and expanded facilities, Penn State Public Broadcasting can serve as a gateway for the community and Penn State with greater accessibility for collaboration on educational and multimedia projects."

PSPB's new facilities in the Outreach Building include three television production studios, three radio studios, five video editing suites and four audio editing suites, as well as broadcast operations. The PSPB facility has a digital core, digital router and infrastructure that will support future expansion of digital facilities.

Currently broadcasting a 24-hour program schedule to 29 counties throughout Pennsylvania and southern New York, WPSU-TV participates in several community outreach events each year including the WPSU-TV Great Teachers: Making A Difference Essay Contest, WPSU Day at DelGrosso's Amusement Park as well as hosting Ready to Learn workshops throughout the state.
