WPSU Saves Itself with WHYY Takeover | Harrisburg News

Penn State is handing over its public broadcasting stations WPSU-FM and WPSU-TV to WHYY in a last-minute lifeline deal, keeping the beloved WPSU name and call letters while ensuring local public media survives. The transfer, finalized just a week after public comments closed, comes after two years of negotiations and a symbolic $1 sale — a move that prevents shutdown by next June. WHYY’s CEO hailed it as a major win for public media, pledging to preserve WPSU’s deep community roots. Final closing details are now being set.
