Kansas City PBS Community Impact Report - Report - Page 9
This year Kansas City PBS launched the public phase of Picture This, a new community
engagement initiative designed to make public media more accessible for all through
expanded coverage, deeper support of local journalism and a renovation of its historic
headquarters at 125 E. 31st St. in Kansas City, Missouri. The initiative is fueled by private
funders and the donations of the community the public media organization proudly serves.
For more than half a century, Kansas City PBS has served the community with informative,
thought-provoking and entertaining programming. As our community has grown, Kansas
City PBS has grown with it to better serve our valued listeners, readers and viewers. We have
added services, integrating a nonprofit radio station to support local music discovery and
an independent journalism platform offering a space for important storytelling. We serve
families, children and educators with resources, programs and workshops. And we bring
global conversations to the local table, providing context and solutions. The Picture This
campaign was designed to modernize our building and technology, and to grow our people
and products, to better serve our valued listeners, readers and viewers.
We were also excited to gather at the station in April 2022, where supporters, donors
and members of the community gathered in celebration of the renovation phase of the
campaign beginning. This new chapter for Kansas City PBS is made possible by viewers like
you. Your support of our services allows us to reach more people in the communities that
make up Kansas City.
