Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis) stopped by the Today Show while part of our group was in the crowd—talk about being in the right place at the right time!

📸 Check out some highlights from the trip, including some iconic Big Apple sights.

And the best part? We're heading back! Join the Q-Crew for our Holiday New York City Road Trip, December 3–6, 2026.

Support WQLN. Support Education.

Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, explore, and discover.

At WQLN, education is at the heart of everything we do—from PBS KIDS programming and classroom resources to hands-on experiences like the STREAM Machine that bring science, technology, reading, engineering, art, and math to life for students across our region.

Because of this incredible community, we're able to continue inspiring curiosity and creating learning opportunities for children, families, educators, and lifelong learners throughout northwest Pennsylvania and even across the border in Canada!

On August 11, during Erie Gives, please consider making a gift to WQLN. Your support helps ensure that educational programming and outreach remain accessible to everyone in our community.

Thank you for believing in the power of education and public media. Together, we're helping build brighter futures—one learner at a time. 💙

A surprise guest at the Erie Blues & Jazz Festival this past weekend — no feathers were ruffled!

Our digital media manager, Jesse, captured the moments a crane became the center of attention in the Rhythm Valley area.

Talk about a high-flying performance!

Here's a glimpse of today's STREAM Machine visit at the Erie County Public Library's Millcreek Branch.

We had so much fun bringing an interactive lesson that blends science, technology, reading, engineering, art, and math together!

Thank you to our funders: The Kern Family Foundation, Wabtec Corporation, Erie Insurance, Hooked on Books for Kids, and UPMC Health Plan.

The voices of our members say it best. đź’™

As Erie Gives approaches next week, we wanted to share why WQLN means so much to the people who watch, listen, learn, and connect with us every day. Their words are a reminder that public media is about more than programs—it's about community.

If WQLN has made a difference in your life, we'd be honored to have your support during Erie Gives on August 11. Every gift helps us continue providing the trusted programs, local stories, and educational resources our region depends on.

Thank you for being part of the WQLN family.

What a memorable weekend at Frontier Park. 🎶💙

WQLN was honored to serve as a Media Sponsor for this year’s Erie Blues & Jazz Festival—a celebration of incredible music, culture, and community that brings people together year after year.

While we’re disappointed that tonight’s headliner, The Lao Tizer Band, couldn’t perform due to the weather, we’re grateful for everything this weekend represented: outstanding performances, dedicated volunteers, passionate organizers, and thousands of people sharing a love of live music.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who makes the Erie Blues & Jazz Festival possible. So much hard work goes into keeping this event free for our community. If you enjoyed this year’s festival, please consider supporting the Erie Blues & Jazz Festival so this cherished tradition can continue for many years to come.

Here are some of the sights from the fest!
