WPSU-TV is the PBS member public television station for the Allegheny area of Pennsylvania that is licensed to Clearfield. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 15 from its transmitter located seven miles north of Clearfield on McGeorge Road in Lawrence Township. Licensed to the Pennsylvania State University Board of Trustees, as a part of Penn State Public Media, WPSU's production and broadcast facility is located in Innovation Park on Penn State's State College campus. It reaches some 500,000 households in west-central and central Pennsylvania and southern New York, as well as a few households in western Pennsylvania. In many of the more rural portions of this area, viewers need cable television in order to get any signal other than WPSU-TV. The station's signal is very strong; it is easily viewable over-the-air as far away as Warren (where WPSU is carried on local cable systems instead of Erie's WQLN, despite the Warren being a part of the Erie market), Williamsport and Bradford. The station broadcasts PBS, American Public Television and independent productions, as well as original local programming, such as "Conversations from Penn State," "Conversations LIVE," "After Abbey," "Our Town," musical performances and political debates.
WPSU-FM is PSU's NPR and classical music radio station. Additionally, WKPS FM "The Lion 90.7FM" is Penn State's student radio station.
