Why Nine
For 70 years Nine PBS has been the St. Louis region’s storyteller. We share stories of hope and inspiration, engage and educate children and families, and enrich communities with meaningful connections.
Nine PBS impacts the lives of kids, parents, educators, and people far beyond our region, thanks to our work on air, online, and in the community.
Take Sam for example:
Sam’s life was changed by a Nova program about the building of the Clark Bridge. At just six years old, it gave him new direction in his life. And now? Captain Sam just returned from a humanitarian mission in the Middle East as part of his military service.
Nine PBS plants seed like this every day for countless children and adults who are learning and growing thanks to our work. It’s your support that makes these moments possible.
Nine PBS is an essential community institution—born by and for St. Louis. Together, we can strengthen our region by shaping a future where everyone can flourish.
