For half a century, PBS has delivered on its promise to educate, engage, and inspire the America people. With singular content, PBS programs have shined a light on our shared history, explored the treasures of our natural world, and shared world-class performances with millions of Americans. PBS has redefined children’s media, with groundbreaking programs like Sesame Street and Mister Rogers' Neighborhood proving that television could educate and entertain. Using its tremendous reach, PBS has called attention to contentious social issues, and explained the science behind some of our most pressing global issues. At every step, PBS has embraced the power of technology to bring people together for shared experiences and shared conversations, first on television, and now on digital, mobile, and broadcast platforms. Today, PBS reaches nearly nine in ten Americans, with nearly 360 member stations serving communities across the country. Together, PBS stations serve as a beacon of thoughtful and thought-provoking media. #PBS50
Teachers, a lot has been asked of you this year. In the spirit of #WorldTeachersDay, let us celebrate you and highlight your inspiring stories.

KAMU is both a TV station and an FM radio station, in one. KAMU functions within the "Educational Broadcast Services" department of Texas A&M University in College Station and, while it exists primarily to provide public broadcasting to the Brazos Valley area, it is also involved in the academic mission of Texas A&M, from formal instruction in the broadcast arts to on-the-job training for student announcers, operators, and production assistants at the stations.
KAMU operates two television studios and two radio studios with state-of-the-art broadcast and production equipment, including video editing and digital audio technology. In addition to the broadcasts, the station operates contract production units and produces distance-learning telecourses. Both stations are staffed by a combination of full-time employees, student workers, and volunteers to provide the necessary leadership, manpower, and programming.
Administrative offices and studio facilities are all located in the "Joe Hiram Moore Communications Center", a 17,000 square-foot one-story brick building constructed in 1972 and located on the Texas A&M University campus in College Station, Texas.
HISTORY OF KAMU
