WGBX-TV "('GBH 44)" is a public television station located in Boston, Massachusetts. It is a sister station to PBS member station WGBH-TV, airing PBS programming not aired by WGBH as well as additional supplemental programming. Reruns of the previous night's programming either from WGBH-TV or from WGBX-TV itself also makes up a part of this station's programming. On its digital signal, WGBX also carries several of PBS's digital networks.

The X in its callsign stands for "Experimental", as WGBX (more primarily in the 1970s) was home to programming that was given a trial on the smaller-audience UHF signal before possibly moving onto the more-established WGBH-TV. Such Eastern Educational Network imports from the UK as "Doctor Who" were seen first or more frequently on WGBX, and one late-1970s local "nightclub"-style variety show, "Club 44," proved popular enough to be moved over to WGBH and retitled "The Club".
