PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) is an American non-profit organization and the largest provider of educational content and programming to public televisions stations around the United States. It’s what has made PBS the household name they are today.
They have more 350 member television stations that distribute their content and programming. These stations are often owned by education institutions including public school districts and universities, non-profit groups or state government entities. A recent Nielsen study found that nearly 80% of all US households view PBS programming.
Unlike the 5 major networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX and The CW, who compensate affiliates to carry their programs, PBS is not a network but provides content, programming and related services to their member stations. PBS also includes PBS Kids, PBS Kids Go!, PBS HD and PBS Satellite Service.
