Since April 27, 2020 WITF has allocated a portion of the broadcast day to expand the opportunities for distance learning as part of our television schedule. This collection of programming is in coordination with the State Department of Education, Intermediate Units across the state and all 7 Pennsylvania PBS Stations. Learn more about WITF’s Learning at Home initiative.
Beginning June 21, this initiative will move into a new phase with emphasis on younger learners in coordination with PBS Kids programming.
