Arizona PBS, a community service of Arizona State University, is proud to announce a new partnership with Local Public, joining a growing network of public media organizations working to expand access to trusted public media content for viewers across Arizona.
Through this partnership, Arizona PBS will join Local Public’s shared platform to create a more accessible and user-friendly streaming experience that brings together PBS favorites with local programming, educational resources and in-depth news coverage, all in one place.

As viewing habits continue to evolve, Arizona PBS is committed to ensuring Arizonans can access the station’s trusted and community-focused programming wherever and whenever they choose.
“We are thrilled to welcome Arizona PBS to the Local Public platform,” said Kevin Colligan, Local Public project lead and Cascade PBS VP of Media & Innovation. “We are excited to work with the Arizona team to help redefine local public media for the post-broadcast age.”
