WGBH will conduct tests of the 30-foot light emitting diode (LED) screen on the outside of its new, all-digital studio complex in Brighton. To be conducted during off-peak commuting times throughout the day and evening, the tests will involve displaying colors, test patterns and images on the screen, which will be visible to eastbound commuters on the Mass. Pike from up to two miles away.

Scheduled to become operational in mid-September—when WGBH formally dedicates its new studios—the 30-foot by 45-foot screen will display slowly changing images that evoke WGBH’s award-winning science, history, public affairs, lifestyle, drama and children’s programming. The images will change each day, with additional information and background on the day’s chosen image available on the WGBH Web site at www.wgbh.org.
