WQED Multimedia starts conversations and creates experiences that educate, entertain and inspire our neighbors in Pittsburgh and southwest Pennsylvania. Founded in 1954 as an experiment in educational community-supported television, WQED was a forerunner to PBS.

Our content creators produce impactful stories that delve into the rich mosaic of our region’s past, present, and future. We cover various topics, from arts and culture to pressing societal issues. We profile remarkable individuals and organizations who work to strengthen our communities. Our Learning Neighborhoods support children in partnership with area schools and libraries and extend to high school students exploring media careers through the WQED Film Academy. Known as "The Voice of the Arts," WQED-FM provides a vital platform that amplifies our vibrant and diverse cultural assets.
