We are the best of PBS with a local accent. More than just a television network, we are virtual classroom, a news and entertainment hub, an emergency communication center and so much more.
Our twelve stations provide all 100 counties in the state with four unique broadcast channels: PBS NC, North Carolina Channel, Rootle (our 24/7 PBS KIDS channel) and the Explorer Channel.
One million viewers watch our broadcast offerings every week, and more than 165,000 people take part in our events every year.
At PBS North Carolina, we start with trust and move forward creatively and collaboratively with purpose, imagination and open minds.
Both behind the scenes and in front, our team nurtures an environment of creativity, collaboration and purpose.
PBS North Carolina is committed to promoting equity and mitigating bias on a systemic level. We do this by designing and creating content that is reflective of and accessible to our diverse communities and by developing Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) initiatives and resources with and for our employees.
