PBS SoCal and KCET are content channels of the Public Media Group of Southern California—a donor-supported community institution. We take pride in sharing stories that matter—with original programs that reflect the diversity, culture and beauty of our region, and the full schedule of trusted PBS programs. Our content channels are available on TV or your favorite device via the free PBS app. Within our community we deliver experiences that inspire, inform and entertain—both in-person and virtually. And our education efforts are at the center of early learning in California. We are dedicated to providing accessible resources, community events and free programming because we believe every child deserves to be prepared for school and that learning doesn’t stop in adulthood.
