Your PBS Station

KBTC Public Television strives to be a vital source of common cultural, intellectual and educational experiences for people in the communities we reach. Every week over 200,000 households tune in for programming that lets them experience history more fully, learn a new quilting technique, delight in learning with their children or just enjoy a program they wouldn't find anywhere else - without the interruption of commercials. KBTC also connects with other non-profit organizations to tell local stories that engage, inform and inspire the community. Over half of our funding comes from viewers who appreciate our services and support KBTC with generous donations.
