Twin Cities PBS By the Numbers 125,203 Our Mission To enrich lives and strengthen our community through the power of media.
Our Vision We seek to connect, engage, inform, and reflect our audiences through trusted programming that is accessible to all.
Fiscal Year in Review September 1, 2024 – August 31, 2025
Because of you, in FY25, Twin Cities PBS: • Delivered trusted, local journalism and civic engagement during a year when access to credible information mattered more than ever. • Expanded learning resources and educator training to ensure students, teachers, and caregivers had the tools to navigate a changing information landscape. • Deepened our investment in local storytelling, preserving and sharing Minnesota’s history, arts, and culture at a time when local perspectives needed amplification. • Brought people together — online, on-air, and in- person — demonstrating that connection is a powerful public service.
In FY25, Twin Cities PBS advanced our mission during one of the most consequential moments in our organization’s history. Even as public media faced challenges across the nation — including the loss of federal funding and closure of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) — our community affirmed something powerful: Minnesotans believe in public media, and they believe in Twin Cities PBS. With the support of viewers, members, educators, and partners, we continued to deliver trusted programming, educational leadership, and local storytelling that strengthens our region. FY25 was defined not only by uncertainty, but also by resilience, innovation, and a groundswell of community support that made one theme abundantly clear: Public media matters here.

A Defining Financial Shift Twin Cities PBS lost nearly 10% of our annual budget with the elimination of federal funding. Now, nearly 70% of our revenue comes from individuals thanks to the astounding generosity of our members and donors.
