Born from collaboration.
Local Public is the result of the Local Streaming Initiative, a group effort to build the modern streaming infrastructure and apps local PBS stations need to remain viable in the post-broadcast age. The effort was led by Cascade PBS, with help and funding from our founding partners and the PBS Major Market Group.
