Cascade PBS, also known as Formerly KCTS 9, is a privately owned company headquartered in the US. Founded in 1954, the organization employs approximately 90 individuals. Functioning primarily in broadcast media production and distribution, Cascade PBS focuses on creating and disseminating media content.
On April 30, 2026, developers of Local Public, a video streaming platform for public TV stations launched by Seattle’s Cascade PBS in early 2024, announced goals to have at least 30 stations using the platform by the end of the summer. The platform, in a pilot phase since last summer, aims to provide stations with more customization options than the PBS video app. Previously, on March 4, 2026, Cascade PBS opened submissions for its Origins grant, which funds Pacific Northwest and Canadian filmmakers to create docuseries showcasing communities in the region, seeking stories reflecting ancestry, connection, and culture from an insider’s perspective. Earlier, on December 22, 2025, Cascade PBS partnered with KNKX for a "Newsfeed" series investigating broad ChatGPT use by Washington city officials, reviewing thousands of conversation logs from Everett and Bellingham. This followed the release of a "Mossback's Northwest" episode on November 14, 2025, which explored Seattle's culinary history and the evolution of its iconic foods.
