Montana PBS

Montana PBS is the PBS member public television network for the U.S. state of Montana. It is a joint venture between Montana State University (MSU) and the University of Montana (UM). The network is headquartered in the Visual Communications Building on the MSU campus on West Grant Street in Bozeman, with a separate studio inside the Performing Arts and Radio/TV (PARTV) Center on the UM campus on Campus Drive in Missoula.

The network's original station, KUSM-TV in Bozeman, first went on the air on October 1, 1984, making Montana the last state to have its own public television station. After initially relying on other PBS stations for much of its programming, the network grew to provide statewide coverage, officially adopting the Montana PBS brand in 1999.

Today, the Montana PBS network comprises eight full-power stations and a large network of translators that rebroadcast its signal throughout the state. In addition to carrying national PBS programming, the network is known for producing local content, including its long-running series Backroads of Montana and programs created by students from both universities.
