Dear Friends,
Sometimes the most important work happens quietly.
In living rooms, where PBS KIDS programming prepares children for school with research-backed, non-commercial programming.
In classrooms, where teachers use PBS LearningMedia to bring lessons to life.
And in communities, where local stories are told with care — not because they’re trending, but because they matter.
Public television has always stood apart. We’re not driven by ratings or revenue. We’re driven by mission. That mission is made possible, in large part, by federal funding — a vital source of support that ensures everyone, everywhere, has access to high-quality, educational and engaging content. No advertiser influence. No strings. Just service.
Right now, federal funding for public television and KSPS PBS is under threat. If you believe in what we do — in the value of lifelong learning, in journalism without fear or favor, in giving every child a fair start — I encourage you to reach out to your representatives, your family and your friends to let them know that public media matters.

With gratitude,
Gary Stokes
President and General Manager
