Funded mainly through government support, viewer donations, and corporate sponsorships, PBS produces and distributes content like documentaries, news, and children's shows. It operates without commercial advertising, focusing on high-quality, non-commercial programming that benefits the public. PBS stations are independently owned but collectively deliver a national network of programming, making it a trusted source for educational and diverse content across the country.
