Our mission at KCTS 9 is to inspire a
smarter world, and we express that mis-
sion through great storytelling that creates
conversations.
KCTS 9 is not owned by a corporation. It’s
owned by you — the people of this com-
munity. In fact, more than 60 percent of our
revenue comes from individual donations.
Our donors love the variety of great
programming, including British dramas
such as “Downton Abbey” on “Masterpiece”
and “Doc Martin”; science programs such
as “NOVA” and “Nature”; the best in music
and arts programming, including “American
Masters”; as well as locally produced pro-
grams such as “IN Close” and “EarthFix,”
which feature in-depth stories that matter
here in the Northwest.
We believe that our community benefits
from strong public media — especially our
youngest viewers. At KCTS 9, we provide
educational experiences to inspire lifelong
learning. Many of our viewers grew up
watching “Sesame Street” and “Mr. Rogers’
Neighborhood”; today their children are en-
joying “Thomas & Friends,” “Arthur,” “Daniel
Tiger’s Neighborhood” and more.
Why give to KCTS 9? For many of our
donors, it’s a matter of trust. For more than
a decade, national surveys have shown that
PBS and member stations such as KCTS 9
are among America’s most trusted institu-
tions. Community members support KCTS
9 because they want to ensure the future of
balanced, informative, entertaining programs
that engage the mind, the imagination and
the heart.
We work hard to earn your trust by provid-
ing excellent programming, every day. With
your support, we can ensure the future of
public television in our community for the
next generation and beyond.
