The Best of PBS with a Local Accent
PBS North Carolina keeps audiences informed in times of crisis, unpacks complex issues, offers opportunities for learning and discovery and elevates the level of discourse around science, arts and humanities.
Our 12 stations provide viewers in all 100 counties with four unique broadcast program channels: PBS NC, the North Carolina Channel, Rootle (our 24/7 PBS KIDS channel) and the Explorer Channel.
Beyond traditional broadcast TV, our digital sponsorship packages are the most coveted among current corporate partners, reaching our vast digital audience of engaged email subscribers, streaming viewers, and website visitors.
