THE STAR OF PBS

“The Boston station produces or co-produces nearly 35 percent of PBS’s prime-time lineup – an output rivaled only by WNET-TV in New York – and also generates roughly 20 percent of the children’s programs. The advent of the Internet has expanded the station’s reach: More than one-third of all visits to PBS Web sites are for WGBH programs. As for the numbers that matter most – ratings – WGBH accounts for more than half of PBS’s 10 most-watched shows in any given month.” – Boston Globe 07/23/00
