As Pittsfield prepared to open a brand-new Taconic High School in 2018, there was a very real possibility that listeners in our community would lose WTBR-FM.  The station, in operation at the school since the 1970s, would go off the air permanently without a community partner to step in to rebuild, manage and operate it.  

Enter Pittsfield Community Television– in partnership with the Pittsfield Public Schools, WTBR has re-emerged as a community media powerhouse.  Preserving the equipment and massive vinyl collection of the Taconic landmark, the new WTBR combines the Classic Rock that listeners have come to love with a diverse range of locally-originated programming produced by members of our Central Berkshire community!
