WFSU-TV is the PBS member station in Tallahassee, Florida. It is owned by Florida State University, with studios located at the Public Broadcast Center on the Florida State campus.

WFSU-TV is seen on analog channel 11, digital channel 32, in Tallahassee and serves north central Florida and southwestern Georgia with the full PBS line-up. It went on the air for the first time on September 20 1960. The Federal Communications Commission had allocated only one VHF channel to Tallahassee. After a large chunk of southwest Georgia was collapsed into the Tallahassee market, Florida State persuaded the FCC to make channel 11 a noncommercial license as UHF was not seen as viable at the time.

WFSU's programming is also seen in the Panama City area on WFSG, analog channel 56 and digital channel 38. WFSG signed on in 1988, replacing a low-powered translator on channel 22 that had served Panama City since the late 1970s.

WFSU also operates a statewide public affairs network, The Florida Channel, that covers the state legislature, a local version of C-SPAN. This network is seen on selected cable systems and government access channels throughout the state of Florida.

WFSU also operates "4FSU", which carries simulcasts of The Florida Channel and programming related to the university community; it also provides a training ground for students studying for careers in the broadcasting field.
