PBS
sigla de Public Broadcasting Service

Corporación privada y sin fines de lucro cuyos propietarios son numerosas estaciones de televisión pública estadounidense.

La PBS proporciona a sus estaciones asociadas, que se financian con fondos públicos y donaciones privadas, en vez de publicidad, programas educacionales, culturales, noticiosos e infantiles que son producidos por sus propios miembros o por productoras independientes de otras latitudes. Entre sus programas más populares se cuentan Plaza Sésamo, Masterpiece Theatre, Great Performances, NewsHour with Jim Lehrer y Nova. PBS fue fundada en 1969 para coordinar y proveer servicios a sus estaciones afiliadas, las que en la actualidad suman aprox. 350. La corporación se financia principalmente con contribuciones de los telespectadores, de los gobiernos estatales y por medio de donaciones de empresas y fundaciones privadas. El gobierno de EE.UU., a través de la Corporation for Public Broadcasting, aporta cerca del 15% del presupuesto.
