The PBS Board of Directors is responsible for governing and setting policy for PBS and the 354 PBS member stations. The PBS Board is comprised of 27 members, with 14 representatives from PBS stations including WGBH, Boston and KPBS, San Diego; 12 general directors from outside the public broadcasting system; and PBS president, Paula Kerger.

South Carolina ETV is the state's public educational broadcasting network with 11 television and eight radio transmitters, and a multi-media educational system in more than 2,500 schools, colleges, businesses and government agencies. Using television, radio and the web, SCETV's mission is to enrich lives by educating children, informing and connecting citizens, celebrating our culture and environment and instilling the joy of learning.
