American Experience PBS is a privately owned company headquartered in the US. Founded in 1988, it operates with approximately 10 employees. The company specializes in broadcast media production and distribution.
*American Experience*, the long-running documentary series produced by GBH, is seeing success with a new digital strategy, having reinvented itself following a production pause last year due to cuts in support from CPB and PBS after federal funding rescissions for public broadcasting. On July 30, 2026, the series announced its return in 2027 with new limited-series documentaries for PBS, concurrently reporting massive digital growth with short-form videos on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, which generated over 19 million views in the preceding five months—a 273 percent increase from the same period last year. This followed GBH's April 29, 2026, announcement that *American Experience* would launch new content on social media platforms and YouTube, as well as new multi-episode specials for PBS on broadcast and streaming. Oscar-Winning Producer and Editor-in-Chief Raney Aronson-Rath leads the editorial and digital strategy, with the series joining NOVA and FRONTLINE in a new documentary unit at GBH.
