A public radio station operating at 89.7 FM, branded as GBH 89.7, located in Boston, Massachusetts. The station is a member of National Public Radio (NPR) and an affiliate of both the Public Radio Exchange (PRX) and American Public Media (APM). It serves as the flagship radio property of the WGBH Educational Foundation, which additionally operates television stations WGBH-TV and WGBX-TV in Boston, WGBY-TV in Springfield, and WCAI-FM on Cape Cod. The call letters derive from Great Blue Hill, a 635-foot elevation in Milton, Massachusetts, within the Blue Hills Reservation, where the station's FM transmitter is located. Great Blue Hill represents the highest natural point in the greater Boston area. The station broadcasts a news-and-information format during daytime hours, carrying NPR News programs and PRX's The World—a public radio program co-produced by WGBH and PRX—and transitions to jazz music programming during evening and nighttime hours. Prior to December 2009, the station carried a mixed format incorporating local jazz and blues programming under the tagline "Boston's NPR Arts & Culture Station," distinguishing it from all-news competitor WBUR-FM. The rebranding in December 2009 shifted the emphasis to nationally syndicated news content. The station's main transmitter operates at 98,000 watts, providing coverage across the greater Boston metropolitan area and extending to much of eastern Massachusetts. According to Nielsen data compiled as of mid-2017, the station's listenership had nearly doubled since 2012, growing from approximately 235,200 to 445,200 weekly listeners, ranking it among the ten most-listened-to NPR news stations nationally.
