Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB) is a state network of PBS member television stations and NPR member radio stations serving the U.S. state of Georgia. It is operated by the Georgia Public Telecommunications Commission, which holds the licenses for most of the PBS and NPR member stations licensed in the state. The broadcast signals of the nine television stations and 19 radio stations cover almost all of the state, as well as parts of Alabama, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.
WUWG FM 90.7 is the radio station that formally broadcast at the University of West Georgia in Carrollton, Georgia, and a part of the GPB Radio state network. This station is one of several in the GPB system that also produces its own programming, however the vast majority is simulcast. This is also duplicated locally both by GPB's WJSP-FM, and now WGPB FM, with most NPR programming also carried by non-GPB station WABE FM 90.1 from nearby Atlanta. Several programs are now also duplicated on WRAS FM 88.5, most of whose broadcast day was involuntarily taken from GSU students in June 2014, resulting in programs like Morning Edition and All Things Considered being needlessly aired on five local stations at once for seven total hours every weekday. Originally licensed to the university and operated entirely by students, WUWG was transferred outright to GPB in 2004, though it is unclear under what circumstances. When GPB pulled broadcasting operations to their Atlanta offices in 2008, Dr. Brad Yates made advances to start a new student run radio station.
WSVH FM 91.1 is a 96,000-watt public radio station broadcasting from Savannah, Georgia, and transmitting from the WVAN-TV 9 tower to the west in Pembroke, Georgia, north of Fort Stewart. It serves the upper Georgia coast and areas well inland, and adjacent areas of far southern South Carolina.
WJSP-FM is the Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB) Public radio station serving Columbus and all of west-central Georgia. It shares a radio tower with GPB TV station WJSP-TV just outside Warm Springs, Georgia, its city of license. The station was one of the first GPB radio stations, first broadcasting in 1984. Unlike some of the other stations in the system, WJSP-FM only simulcasts the GPB radio network, with no local programs.
WJSP-TV 23, part of the Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB) Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) member Public broadcasting network, serves Columbus, Georgia and the surrounding west-central Georgia and far east-central Alabama region. The transmitter and radio antenna are located just south of Warm Springs on the same radio tower as WJSP-FM 88.1. It's one of only two GPB stations actually licensed to a major Georgia city, the other being WVAN-TV in Savannah. However, to conform to GPB's pattern of naming two cities in station IDs, the station's shown as "WJSP-DT 28, Columbus/Warm Springs".
WABW-TV digital channel 6 part of the Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB) public broadcasting network, serves Albany and southwestern Georgia, from its transmitter in Pelham.

WNGH-TV is a PBS member public television station licensed to serve Chatsworth, Georgia on digital TV channel 33. It is part of the Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB) state network, serving North Georgia and the Chattanooga media market. Despite its UHF frequency, the height of WNGH's transmitter makes it one of GPB's strongest stations. It provides at least secondary coverage as far north as Athens, Tennessee and as far south as metro Atlanta's north-northwestern suburbs, many of which can no longer get GPB's primary public television station, WGTV TV 8. Two broadcast translator stations help bring the signal to the mountainous parts of the service area. Some network program duplication occurs with WTCI-TV, the main PBS station for the Chattanooga area.
