WCTE PBS operates as the Upper Cumberland Public Broadcast Station, serving the regional broadcast media production and distribution landscape. It runs three channels—WCTE-HD, World, and Create—and distributes programming through traditional broadcast and cable networks to viewers in Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky. Its stated purpose is to educate and engage the community through outreach and original content that reflects local culture. Based in Cookeville, Tennessee, the organization relies on a relatively small to mid-sized staff and collaborates with community partners to address educational and social needs. A 2025 partnership with Motlow State Community College will bring a screening to Tullahoma, illustrating ongoing regional cooperation. The station serves a regional audience of more than 1.3 million viewers.
