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.
Cascade PBS received five regional Emmy awards from the Northwest Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, following 13 nominations, and also secured 18 SPJ Awards on June 4, 2026. Previously, on April 30, 2026, the developers behind Local Public, a video streaming platform launched by Cascade PBS in early 2024 and in a pilot phase since last summer, set a goal to have at least 30 stations using the platform by the end of the summer, offering more customization options than the standard PBS video app. Earlier, on March 4, 2026, Cascade PBS opened submissions for its Origins grant, which funds Pacific Northwest and Canadian filmmakers to create docuseries highlighting regional communities, seeking stories grounded in ancestry, connection, and culture from an insider's perspective. This followed a December 22, 2025 report where Cascade PBS partnered with KNKX for a new series on "The Newsfeed," investigating the use of artificial intelligence by Washington city officials by reviewing thousands of ChatGPT conversation logs from Everett and Bellingham.
