Public media is a powerful and vital force in our communities, creating an environment where people are inspired to learn more about each other, do more to solve societal issues, and become their best possible selves. 

WUCF promotes a love of learning throughout Central Florida, so our audiences have a fulfilling life in a strong, resilient, informed society. 

At WUCF, our high quality content is at the core of everything we do. And we amplify its power through engagement in the community, as well as partnerships with significant educational, arts and cultural institutions across the Central Florida region.

In the age of social media, streaming platforms, and 24-hour news cycles, you might wonder: Why does public media still matter?

The answer is simple—public media matters because local stations serve local communities!

At WUCF, our mission goes far beyond delivering programs. We exist to change lives, create community connections, and provide commercial-free access to reliable information, education, and culture.

Our free, expert-informed educational content like Meet the Helpers and On My Way to K empowers and equips parents and caregivers to support children's learning and growth. Through television programs, interactive games, mobile apps and hands-on activities, we set children –particularly in low-income areas -- on a path to school and lifetime success – all at no cost to families.

And each public media station, including WUCF, is locally managed, tailoring content and services to reflect the unique needs of Central Florida. Programs like Florida Road Trip and NewsNight exist because Central Florida asked for them. We foster community connections that address critical local issues, verify facts, strengthen community bonds, and enrich society through programming that changes lives.

At WUCF, we’re proud to be part of your lives, and deeply grateful for your support in serving Central Florida.

Together, we can ensure public media continues to highlight our community’s unique opportunities and remains a cornerstone for generations to come.
