Houston Public Media is a privately owned entity headquartered in the US. Founded in 1950, it employs approximately 120 individuals and specializes in Broadcast Media Production and Distribution.
On April 22, 2026, a report discussed the costs associated with producing podcasts, referencing Houston Mayor John Whitmire's new podcast in a comparison. This followed KTRK's Eyewitness News confirmation on April 21, based on city records, that Mayor Whitmire's new podcast was funded with $60,000 in tax dollars, crediting Houston Public Media as the first to report this development. Houston Public Media originally reported on April 19 that Mayor Whitmire's office allocated up to $60,000 for his podcast, "901 Bagby: Inside The Mayor’s Office." Records obtained by Houston Public Media described the work by podcast host Owen Conflenti, owner of Conflenti Media and former KPRC 2 news anchor, as "advertising services," which Mayor Whitmire stated was intended to foster "public engagement."
