Impact of Public Television

Public media is the only nonprofit, commercial-free media service that provides trusted news, educational programming, and emergency information to every member of our community — regardless of income, location or advertiser interest. We prioritize public service over profit, ensuring that underserved communities have access to critical information and educational content.
