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.
