Public media organizations PBS NC and WTVI PBS Charlotte have announced a merger to preserve statewide educational media. The agreement between the Raleigh and Charlotte-based organizations will allow for public service programming in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg region to reach a statewide audience following approval by the Federal Communications Commission, according to the press release . “WTVI has been a trusted presence in living rooms across the Charlotte region, and I have deep respect for what the station has meant to its viewers, members and to the community,” David Crabtree, PBS North Carolina’s chief executive officer and general manager, said in the release. “Bringing WTVI into the PBS NC family means that everything WTVI has built now has a statewide stage.” Central Piedmont Community College has held the WTVI broadcast license since 2012 and maintained the station’s financial standing until public media lost federal funding in 2025 . While local fundraising has helped immediate needs, WTVI lost $1.2 million in annual funding from the government, the press release said, and PBS North Carolina laid off dozens of employees, The News & Observer previously reported . Together, PBS NC and WTVI PBS Charlotte have over 120 years creating public media programming for North
