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.

  • 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.”

  • White House Rescissions Package Threatens Devastating Impact on Indiana Public Broadcasting

    INDIANAPOLIS, IN — Indiana Public Broadcasting Stations, Inc. (IPBS), representing 17 public television and radio stations across the state, is expressing serious concern following the submission of a rescissions package by the White House to Congress. If passed, the measure would revoke advance federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) in fiscal years 2026 and 2027—placing local stations and the communities they serve in immediate jeopardy. In fiscal year 2024, Indiana stations received a total of $9.38 million from CPB. The proposal calls for Congress to eliminate already-appropriated funds and prohibit CPB from distributing any remaining resources. The impact would be swift and far-reaching, especially in rural areas where public media serves as a vital information and education lifeline.

  • Critical State Funding for Indiana Public Broadcasting Stations Removed from Proposed State Budget

    Indianapolis, IN — April 24, 2025 – Late last night, Indiana’s newly released two-year state budget proposal excluded $3.675 million in annual funding for Indiana Public Broadcasting Stations (IPBS), a critical investment that has long supported the essential services provided by public television and radio stations across the state. Seventeen public broadcasting stations—serving 95% of Hoosiers—deliver trusted journalism, lifelong learning, and vital public safety information, free of charge to Indiana residents. This funding rollback jeopardizes the ability of these stations to continue delivering these services at the scale and quality Hoosiers expect and rely on.
