PBS

Overview

PBS, or the Public Broadcasting Service, is an American nonprofit media organization dedicated to distributing educational and cultural programming across the United States. Founded in 1969, it launched its broadcast network in 1970 as the successor to National Educational Television (NET). The organization delivers diverse, non-commercial educational content not typically found on commercial television.

As a distribution network, the organization connects over 350 member stations nationwide and has been a pioneer in innovations such as closed captioning and satellite distribution. Programming includes acclaimed children’s shows, performing arts series, documentaries, and science programs, fostering lifelong learning and cultural enrichment for audiences in every state.
