KWSU-TV (channel 10) was a PBS member television station licensed to Pullman, Washington, United States. Owned by Washington State University (WSU), it was part of the Northwest Public Broadcasting (NWPB) network. KWSU-TV's studios were located in the Murrow Communications Center (Room 382) within Jackson Hall on WSU's main campus on Veterans Way in Pullman, and its transmitter was located on Kamiak Butte near Palouse, Washington.
KWSU-TV's main signal served a corner of the Spokane market as a "beta" station through the Program Differentiation Plan complementing KSPS-TV and Idaho Public Television. The station was carried on the Spokane DirecTV and Dish Network feeds, which expanded its potential audience to over 600,000 people in Washington, Idaho, Oregon and Montana. KWSU-TV was also available on Xfinity systems in the Spokane area, and operated a translator on UHF channel 33 in Spokane.
KWSU-TV operated as a sister station in Richland, Washington, KTNW (channel 31), which serves as a full PBS member for the Tri-Cities area. Although this station maintains its own studios on the WSU Tri-Cities campus in Richland, master control and most internal operations are based at KWSU-TV's facilities.
