November 3, 1969: PBS is Founded

On November 3, 1969, PBS was created to provide educational television
programming and services that reflect the diverse interests of the
American people.

Today, nearly 90% of U.S. television households tune into PBS member
stations, and we are expanding our public service mission to digital
media. In September 2012, Americans watched more than 150 million
videos across all of PBS’ web and mobile platforms.

A very happy 43rd birthday to PBS. Still going strong after all these years, and getting flung around in election-year political banter to boot.
