Our Basin. Your Values.

More than what's on. Part of what's here.

Basin PBS is proud to be part of the Permian Basin. We share the stories that shape our communities, spark curiosity through education, and create connections that reach beyond the screen.

Our refreshed look reflects a commitment that has always been at the heart of our work: the people, stories, and values of this place matter.

We're proud to call this home. We're proud to serve this community. And we're grateful to be part of what makes it special.

Basin PBS. Our Basin. Your Values.

The Jolly Trolley is out and about, bringing smiles, learning, and PBS KIDS fun to communities across the Permian Basin! The Basin PBS Education team is on the road, connecting with children and families, and bringing educational experiences beyond the television screen.

And we’re just getting started! We’re looking forward to visiting even more communities, meeting more families, and seeing plenty more smiling faces along the way.
