On Nov. 28, 1942, a devastating fire at the Cocoanut Grove Nightclub in Boston’s Bay Village neighborhood claimed 492 lives, with six of the club’s nine exit doors locked.
Through archival materials, newly-released footage, and interviews with survivors, @sixlockeddoors from filmmaker Zachary Graves-Miller (@graves_miller) revisits the tragedy, honors those affected, and explores its lasting impact on fire safety codes and regulations worldwide. An encore presentation airs Thursday night (11/12) at 9p on GBH-2 (also streaming on the @pbs app).
A permanent memorial honoring those lost is scheduled to be built at Statler Park in Boston in 2027.

You probably recognize Boston’s @brattlebookshop as one of the most postcard-esque spots in the city.
But did you know that owner and proprietor Ken Gloss has worked in the shop since he was five years old?
Gloss, an appraiser for @roadshowpbs, was interviewed by GBH’s Ten O’Clock News when the shop burned down in 1980, clearing the space for the now iconic outdoor shop space.

RUFF IS BACK!!! This time for all you adults out there! And he’s sent former FETCHer @shrey_vis and intern @hollyteti into NYC and Boston with zero phones, a map that looks like rainbow spaghetti, and a dream. Oh, and a little bit of guidance from @gbhnews transportation guru @jsiegel_!
Like, share, repost, and comment on this episode to convince the big dogs at GBH HQ to give him his show back for good (and maybe an upgrade from that flat 2D body)! Follow here (@wgbh) for the rest of the episode!

The MBTA is cracking down on fare evasion at the above-ground Green Line train stations. GBH’s Jeremy Siegel hopped aboard the T to see what some riders think about the new policy and having to pay up. 🚃

A wonderful moment for our filmmakers and the whole FRONTLINE @frontlinepbs team: @Variety is spotlighting the films, collaborations and audiences helping shape our next chapter.
Marlow Stern’s piece explores our collaborations with Mstyslav Chernov, Steve James, Itab Azzam and Jack MacInnes, and the development of FRONTLINE FEATURES. Their reflections speak to something essential: ambitious documentaries need sustained support, editorial care and room for a story to unfold.
I’m equally encouraged by what we’re seeing on YouTube: 4.8 million subscribers and more than a billion views, as Variety reports. Audiences are making time for substantial documentary storytelling, and we have an extraordinary opportunity to introduce more people to these films.
I’m deeply grateful to the filmmakers who make it all possible—their vision, persistence and the stories they tell are at the heart of all of this.
Thank you to Marlow for the thoughtful piece, and to everyone at FRONTLINE who helps bring these films to audiences.

Millions of first-time voters will head to the polls to cast their ballots in Nov. 3's general election. GBH's Renuka Balakrishnan spoke with eight high schoolers from across Massachusetts — some old enough to vote and some watching from the sidelines — about what matters to them in the 2026 midterms.
GBH News caught up with students as they competed for a slot in Season 18 of High School Quiz Show. Season 18 episodes premiere on YouTube on Thursdays at 6:00 PM EST beginning February 4, 2027 and on GBH2 and PBS Passport on Saturdays at 6:00 PM EST beginning February 6, 2027.
