Welcome to WXXI's

Open House

Thanks for coming to WXXI's 2010 Open House this past weekend!

The Drawing Winners are here!

Most of the photos are here!
There might be a few more pictures (especially of WordGirl) that we'll add as soon as we can.

WXXI opens its doors to the public on Saturday, October 2 from 10 a .m. to 2 p.m. at 280 State Street in downtown Rochester, for a day of fun, free activities for guests of all ages.



In 1958 a group of educators, community leaders and concerned citizens came together to form RAETA. RAETA would later become WXXI Public Broadcasting Council. They believed that television was a perfect tool to educate, inform and inspire the largest audience possible, a goal WXXI still aspires to today.

To celebrate, we’re hosting a free Open House on Saturday, October 2nd between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. There are plenty of things to do for grownups and kids!
