From our very first broadcast in 1958, WJCT has been putting the power of public broadcasting to work to enrich lives and empower citizens.
Today, we continue to offer local and national programs of the highest quality. With four distinct TV channels, we offer programming for everyone! Don’t miss programs like these:
The Arts
We put you in the best seats in the house at “Great Performances,” and bring the classics to life in “Masterpiece.”
Science
We showcase the world’s creatures in “Nature,” explore cutting-edge science in “NOVA” and “NOVA scienceNOW,” and solve forensic mysteries in “Secrets of the Dead.”
History
From Ken Burns’ compelling documentaries to the award-winning “American Masters” and “American Experience,” we turn the spotlight on important moments in our collective history, and the people who made them happen.
Lifestyle and How-To
We offer great advice for every interest – from the “Antiques Roadshow” appraisers, to the incomparable Julia Child and other master chefs, to our expert woodworkers, gardeners, travel guides and more.
News and Public Affairs
With investigative programs like “Frontline” and news programs like “NewsHour” and “Washington Week with Gwen Ifill,” we keep you informed about the state of the world you live in.
Local Programs
Our quarterly “First Coast Forum” promotes discussion about important local issues, and lets you weigh in. Our local documentaries showcase highlights of the First Coast and you can discover the stories of the people, places and events that are unique to the Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia area on our series “Hometown.”
