Our Basin. Your Values.A fresh look. A shared commitment.

Basin PBS is proud to introduce our new tagline: Our Basin. Your Values.

It reflects something we've always believed: the people, stories, and shared values of the Permian Basin matter. And as a community-supported public media organization, we're here to celebrate what makes this place special.
From trusted PBS programming and educational experiences to local storytelling and community partnerships, our work reaches beyond the screen. We spark curiosity, create connections, and bring people together across West Texas.

Our look may be refreshed, but our commitment remains the same. We're proud to call this place home and proud to be part of the communities we serve.

Basin PBS. Our Basin. Your Values.
