Television and Radio
Two television stations originate in Wilmington, one of which is an educational affiliate of the Public Broadcasting System. Comcast Cable provides cable television service to greater Wilmington. Wilmington viewers receive most programs from stations located in Philadelphia and other cities in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The same is true of radio broadcasts; the city is home to four AM stations and three FM stations, but is considered part of a market that also encompasses eastern Pennsylvania (including Philadelphia) and northern New Jersey.
