In 2011, a small station known as KOCE stepped into its new role as the primary PBS station for Greater Los Angeles and Southern California, and became PBS SoCal. Today, PBS SoCal is the top-rated and most-watched public television station in the Greater Los Angeles area, and the third most-watched PBS station in the nation. PBS SoCal delivers the full schedule of high-quality PBS programs – including great Sunday night dramas like MASTERPIECE’S Poldark and Sherlock; thought-provoking documentaries from FRONTLINE, Ken Burns America, POV, and Independent Lens; fascinating science and nature program from NATURE and NOVA; inspiring arts and culture programs from Great Performances and American Masters; and trusted educational children’s programs from PBS KIDS. Additionally, PBS SoCal works with talented producers in their region to tell important stories that bring a West Coast voice to the PBS schedule. As more than just a television station, they deliver their mission through content and experiences that inform, inspire and entertain. These include distinctive PBS programs, person-to-person experiences in the classroom and the community, diverse cultural and community partnerships, and content that is for, about and created by Southern Californians.
