East Tennessee PBS is a non-commercial broadcast station serving the Knoxville region and the Tri-Cities area of Tennessee and Virginia. Established in 1967, the organization broadcasts PBS national programming alongside locally produced programs and events that aim to enhance the quality of life in its communities. Its signal reaches roughly 1.1 million households across multiple markets, including parts of Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee, positioning it as a regional provider of arts, educational, and current events content. The station operates as a community-licensed entity and does not affiliate with a university or state network, focusing on serving local audiences with programs such as Scholars' Bowl, Marshal Andy and the Riders of the Silver Screen, and other educational and cultural programming. Recent developments include the addition of an education specialist to support community learning initiatives.
