Smoky Hills Public Television

Believing that the best of Kansans’ artistic imaginations, personal expression and stories deserve to be celebrated with each other and the world, Smoky Hills Public Television produces between 50-60 hours of Kansas-related programming each year – as diverse as public affairs, the arts, historical documentaries and western Kansas high school sports. Smoky Hills Public Television has twice been recognized as “Television Station of the Year” by the Kansas Association of Broadcasters, and has won numerous other awards for its productions.

Believing that education is a cornerstone of our society and the most important enabler for all aspects of life, Smoky Hills Public Television broadcasts nine hours of safe, non-violent, educational children’s programming every weekday. The station’s educational outreach programs have provided literacy training to thousands of teachers and parents throughout central and western Kansas, and distributed tens of thousands of books, often the first book a disadvantaged Kansas child will own.

As a not-for-profit institution, Smoky Hills Public Television receives a portion of its funding each year from federal and state sources, but the largest portion of the revenue necessary to operate the station comes from local support.
