Classical WETA is also available in the Cumberland Valley on WGMS 89.1 FM and in Frederick, Maryland on WETA 88.9 FM. In addition to its broadcasts and productions, WETA is guided by the vision and inspiration of their founder, Elizabeth P. Campbell, a steadfast believer in the power of media to educate. In that spirit, WETA has developed valuable national education services whose projects for parents and teachers include LDOnline.org, ReadingRockets.org, ColorinColorado.org and AdLit.org. On the ground in the local community, WETA’s services include Ready To Learn workshops that show families, child-care providers and teachers how to leverage public television's kid’s shows to help young viewers learn to read. As a public broadcaster, they look forward to many more years of producing and broadcasting quality programs and to harness the potential of new technologies to inform an ever-widening community.
