WPSU first aired the show Our Town in 1996.  Since then the show has focused on Altoona, Bedford, Bellefonte, Bradford, Brockway, Brookville, Clarion, Clearfield, Coudersport, Cresson, DuBois, Ebensburg, Emporium, Everett, Holidaysburg, Indiana, Jersey Shore, Johnstown, Kane, Lewistown, Lock Haven, Martinsburg, Philipsburg, Port Allegany, Punxsutawney, Ridgeway, Roaring Springs Smethport, Somerset, St. Marys, State College, Tyrone, Warren, Wellsville, Williamsport and Windber. 

The format of the show has changed and evolved over the years since 1996.  In the early days our Our Town local community members were not only featured but did all the filming as well.  WPSU professionals now do all the in interview filming while much of the other content is provided by the volunteers.  While there has been an Our Town Huntingdon this will be the first Our Town Raystown Lake.
