Public Media for North Texas reaches the fourth-largest populated area in the country. More than 2 million people listen and watch KERA TV, KERA FM, KERA World and KXT 91.7 each week. KERA is among the top three most-watched public television stations for children’s programming, and their curriculum-based educational shows reach over 325,000 North Texas children each week, totaling more than 3,300 hours of educational programs each year. In 2009, a second television channel, KERA WORLD 13.2, was launched which significantly increased the availability and variety of public television programming in North Texas. KERA’s locally-programmed music radio station, KXT 91.7, launched in late 2009 to serve the greater Dallas, Fort Worth and Denton areas – and worldwide at kxt.org. The station has one of the largest audiences of any public triple-A music station in the country. For years, KERA FM has been a news and information format, including national programs, reports and specials. Throughout its history, many of KERA’s original productions about the arts, community affairs and current events have received notable awards, such as an Emmy Award and the Alfred I. DuPont-Columbia University Award.
