PBS is a private, non-profit corporation that serves the American public with programming and services of the highest quality, using media to educate, inspire, entertain, and express a diversity of perspectives. Founded in 1969, its members are America’s public TV stations—noncommercial, educational licensees that operate more than 330 PBS member stations and serve all 50 states, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa. PBS offers programming that expands the minds of children, documentaries that open up new worlds, non-commercialized news programs that keep citizens informed on world events and cultures, and programs that expose America to the worlds of music, theater, dance, and art. PBS has transformed itself from a solely broadcast organization to a multi-platform media organization that serves Americans through television, mobile and connected devices, the web, in the classroom, and more.



Over the course of a year, 67% of all U.S. television households— over 160 million people—watch PBS via traditional television. Each month, more than 42 million people watch their local PBS stations, more than 15 million viewers watch videos on PBS’s site and apps, and over 56 million fans enjoy PBS Digital Studios and other content on social media.



PBS and its member stations are America's undisputed home for documentary storytelling. During the 2021-2022 season, PBS offered over 170 hours of new documentary content, seen by nearly 60 million people. Featuring more than 250 hours of new arts and cultural programming, seen by 73 million people, PBS is also helping to keep the arts alive today and for generations to come.



PBS stations reach more children, and more parents of young children, in low-income homes than any other children’s TV network, and PBS KIDS is the No.1 educational media brand for children. As part of its commitment to America’s children, PBS brings the power of media into the classroom; PBS LearningMedia is a robust platform that offers PreK-12 educators free access to tens of thousands of resources from PBS stations and partners.



For 20 consecutive years, a national study has rated PBS as the most trusted institution in America. When asked which networks they trust most when it comes to news and public affairs programming, respondents ranked PBS No. 1, ahead of the major broadcast and cable news networks.



PBS’s audience mirrors the diversity of the United States with respect to race, ethnicity, income, and geography, and it is core to its mission that PBS content reflects this diversity. In addition, PBS is committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and high-performing culture, so that every staff member can bring their best work forward. Through an ongoing and concerted effort, PBS has created a diverse workforce, leadership team, and Board of Directors. Sixty percent of the PBS team is comprised of women, and 44% identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). In 2022, 73% of new hires were women and 48% identified as BIPOC. Forty-three percent of PBS’s senior executives are women, and 29% identify as people of color. Of the 27 members of its Board of Directors, 48% of the directors are women and 37% identify as people of color.
