Arkansas PBS, also known as AR PBS, is a state-owned entity headquartered in the US. Founded in 1966, the network employs approximately 70 individuals and reported $45.0M in revenue as of 2023. It functions as a tier 2 media tech buyer. The company specializes in operating Arkansas’s only statewide public media network, which delivers daily productions and programs primarily through broadcast television and radio.
On March 16, 2026, Arkansas PBS announced it placed on hold its plan to pivot away from PBS programming and transform into "Arkansas TV." Viewers were previously informed that the operation would eliminate PBS programming as of July 1, 2026, following a 6-2 vote by Arkansas PBS's governing body not to renew its contract with PBS. This development follows a campaign by public television supporters, which intensified with a visit from a PBS Kids official for a public forum on February 18, 2026. Earlier, on February 15, 2026, the citizen-led group "Friends of Arkansas PBS" formed, co-chaired by former Arkansas First Ladies Barbara Pryor and Gay White, specifically to advocate for the preservation of PBS programming in the state.
