Our Impact

Indiana public television and radio stations are catalysts for education, dedicated to lifelong learning for every Hoosier.  IPBS stations provide national and local content to classrooms, offer teacher training, and provide broadcasting and datacasting services to school districts engaged in at-home learning.

IPBS stations embrace their public safety responsibility and are committed to maximizing technology for the public good.  IPBS stations serve the general public by providing live weather radar, alert messaging and essential training to first responders through emergency simulations and developmental exercises.

Public broadcasters in Indiana regard their viewers and listeners as citizens, not consumers. Providing trustworthy news and information and facilitating thoughtful civic discourse is of paramount importance.

  • Statement from IPBS Executive Director Mark Newman on the Passage of the Rescissions Act

    Early this morning, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to eliminate all previously approved federal funding for public media—a devastating outcome for our entire system. For the first time in history, Congress has rescinded $1.1 billion in critical support for public media, despite overwhelming public opposition. This decision is a serious setback. But our IPBS member stations are not giving up. Public media will continue to operate in Indiana, and our commitment to Hoosiers remains as strong as ever.

  • U.S. House Advances Rescissions Package Impacting Public Media Funding

    INDIANAPOLIS – Today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a rescissions package that includes the elimination of future federal funding for public media through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The measure now moves to the U.S. Senate for consideration. Indiana Public Broadcasting Stations (IPBS), which represents the state’s 17 PBS and NPR member stations, is closely monitoring the move and its potential implications for local service delivery across Indiana. “Indiana’s public media stations play a unique role in delivering trusted news, classroom-ready education content, emergency alerts, and cultural programming to communities across the state,” said Mark Newman, Executive Director of IPBS. “Our focus now shifts to the Senate, where we will continue to work with our partners and policymakers to emphasize the value of this essential public service.”
