We are Twin Cities PBS

A leader in trusted journalism, a convener of communities, a source of innovative programming for kids, families, and adults. We tell stories with impact, because we believe in the power of public media to connect us to our neighbors, engage with the world around us, and advance arts, culture, and history for generations to come.

Who we are

More than a TV station

Rooted in our community, Twin Cities PBS extends far beyond the screen. Our work spans education, community engagement, and original productions - bringing local stories to life and connecting people through shared experiences.

Belonging & Respect

We honor diverse perspectives and experiences, strengthening trust inside our organization and with the communities we serve.

Forever Learning

We embrace feedback and reflection as essential to learning, evolving, and deepening our impact over time.

Better Together

We engage with communities as partners, co-creating solutions and stories that matter rather than assuming what’s best.

Lead with Care

We lead with empathy, awareness, and humility, creating inclusive environments where people feel welcome and supported.

Curious by Nature

We value creative thinking and smart risk-taking, exploring new ideas that expand what public media can do for everyone.
