WJCT Public Media

WJCT Public Media is Jacksonville’s community-owned public television and radio organization at 100 Festival Park Avenue, Jacksonville, FL 32202, in the Stadium District on the downtown riverfront. Google Places lists the same studios under that name. Wikipedia files WJCT, Inc. as the nonprofit that operates PBS member station WJCT “Jax PBS” (channel 7) and NPR member WJCT-FM 89.9. This Stay Safe Jax page is that Festival Park Avenue campus. It is not a commercial TV station on another lot, not MOSH, and not a daycare despite the Education & Daycare catalog bucket. Public ratings on this page are stored snapshots, not live scores. Google Places currently lists WJCT Public Media at 4.8 from 328 reviews for 100 Festival Park Avenue. Stay Safe Jax stored the same 4.8 from 328 reviews. Stay Safe Jax has no stored Yelp rating, so the headline is the Google snapshot: 4.8 from 328 reviews. Those numbers do not refresh when someone opens the page. A high-4 score from hundreds of event guests is ordinary praise for a clean studio and community screening room, not a warning. Wikipedia says WJCT formed in October 1958, that television began that September, that radio began in April 1972, and that the current headquarters sit on Festival Park Avenue. Public about copy describes Jax PBS, WJCT News 89.9, digital streams, and a radio reading service. The Soundstage is a separate public-facing room: more than 7,800 square feet, about 400-person capacity, used for screenings, meetings, and rentals. Visit Jacksonville listed 2026 events at 100 Festival Park Avenue, including Oscar-nominated shorts and CatVideoFest, with member and non-member ticket prices. Google hours for the offices are Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Phone on Google is (904) 353-7770. Google lists wheelchair parking and entrance. FCC public-file rules apply to the television and radio stations. Stay Safe Jax did not find a current lawsuit, license revocation, or news investigation that would turn WJCT into a warning page. Warning flags stay at 0. A well-reviewed public-media campus is ordinary good civic infrastructure. Residents can still file factual notes about event parking next to the stadium, how staff handle a sold-out screening, and whether the Soundstage felt accessible. Those notes belong on Festival Park Avenue, not on a different downtown venue.
