Indiana Supreme Court: IPBS Public Outreach Project

In concert with the Indiana Supreme Court, IPBS has developed a broadcast schedule of special programs designed to inform Hoosiers about their court system and to expand their access to its public proceedings. For the first time, Indiana Supreme Court proceedings will be broadcast statewide.

The Indiana Channel

The IPBS member stations are working to develop an entirely new service for Hoosiers everywhere. We've often thought about what great things could be accomplished in our state if there was a channel designed specifically for and about Indiana interests. Now, with assistance from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, planning has begun in earnest. Step by step, the vision of an Indiana Channel is becoming a reality.

When completed, the Indiana Channel schedule will feature award-winning programs about Indiana's celebrated people, history, heritage, sports, public affairs, tourism, economic development, education and more.

Two member stations are working together to test the core of the new schedule in their communities. WNIN-TV, Evansville and WVUT-TV, Vincennes have teamed up to begin a special block of programming geared specifically for Indiana interests.

As funding develops, the schedule will expand from its current three-hour test block of time. From there, the plan requires the technical system to distribute the program schedule. When that is complete all Indiana public TV stations plan to carry the new channel.

The timeline for roll-out of the total project is dependent on several factors. But progress is being made. We're excited that in the months ahead, Indiana residents from Merrillville and South Bend to Evansville and all parts in between will be able to access outstanding programs designed specifically for and about Indiana.

Hoosiers Trust Indiana Public Broadcasters

With support from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the Indiana Public Broadcasting Stations recently completed a public opinion survey. The research sought to assess Hoosier opinions about public broadcasting. Results indicate that Indiana public broadcasters are a highly trusted source by comparison to many other media outlets. Public TV in particular is trusted even more than courts of law. For more information click on the link below.
