PBS12 is Colorado’s independent public media voice, connecting people and communities through storytelling that informs, inspires, and empowers.

Founded in 1980 as KBDI, “the beady eye,” PBS12 was created by a group of visionary Coloradans who believed in giving local voices a platform. Their spirit of fearless creativity led to groundbreaking programs such as Teletunes, a precursor to MTV; Home Movies, which anticipated the YouTube era; and Colorado Inside Out, one of the state’s longest-running public affairs shows.

Today, PBS12 continues that legacy through original productions, community partnerships, and statewide initiatives that highlight Colorado’s people, stories, and ideas, celebrating the spirit, creativity, and diversity that define our state.

At the heart of PBS12’s work are three pillars:

  • CONNECT – Portraits and human storytelling that reflect Colorado’s people, places, and shared experiences.

  • THINK – Informational and documentary programs that help viewers explore issues more deeply and understand their impact.

  • EMPOWER – Stories that spark dialogue, strengthen communities, and inspire meaningful action across Colorado.
