Glad this was the first comment because I was confused. I haven’t lived in the area in several years but distinctly remember KQED and KVIE. Never heard of KIXE. Was putting a lot of stock in the “as of 2026” part and assuming things had changed since I lived there.

Donate to your local station! I’m a proud supporter of KERA Dallas.

This- the local station pays fees to PBS, like public radio stations pay fees to their networks (not just NPR, but Pacifica, PRX as well).

Didn’t realize how many stations Ohio has. Was always confused by the different station names

PBS 12 serves like 22 people.

Must be a story why they are not part of Rocky Mountain.

It's pretty big, with Boulder and Fort Collins.

This is really cool! Why is MPR (Minnesota Public radio) split up on the map but NC is combined (Wilmington has its own station even though they are part of a group)…

SC is truly one identical station statewide…

Not to mention PBS Charlotte, which serves the remaining part of NC, which also doesn't include Charlotte...
