PBS, also known as the Public Broadcasting Service, is a free-to-air broadcasting network. A non-commercial programming channel, PBS was launched in 1970 and has since contributed to society with its educational content. The channel is independently funded by private foundations and individuals as well as by Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). However, there is a set of standards in place to ensure that the programming is free from any sort of influence.

In 2020, PBS exceeded 350 member stations across the country, including those owned by school districts, educational institutes, and state governments in several areas. PBS is available in millions of homes within the U.S., providing good quality and informative content to people of all ages.
