WETA's mission is to produce and broadcast programs of intellectual integrity and cultural merit that recognize viewers' and listeners' intelligence, curiosity and interest in the world around them.
WETA reaches 1.3 million Washington D.C.-area viewers each week on average. The station’s national productions include Ken Burns’ televisions series over the past 30 years, including The Civil War and Baseball. It also produces news and public affairs series such as PBS NewsHour and Washington Week with Gwen Ifill.
WETA has also developed education multimedia services for parents and educators with the overriding goal of making learning available to all.
