Mississippi Public Broadcasting, a state-owned entity headquartered in the US, was founded in 1969 and employs approximately 100 individuals. The organization reported $65.8M in revenue as of 2023 and functions as a tier 2 media tech buyer. The network's main product is broadcast television and radio, operating as the public broadcasting state network serving the U.S. state of Mississippi, and is owned by the Mississippi Authority for Educational Television.
The Mississippi Department of Education and other K-12 education bodies in the state are requesting a 1% or $33 million increase to their $3.31-billion budget from lawmakers for the upcoming fiscal year, as of January 22, 2026. This follows an October 15, 2025, announcement that Mississippi Public Broadcasting (MPB) partnered with the Mississippi Department of Education to launch a new virtual learning program aimed at addressing the state's teacher shortage. Earlier, on July 30, 2025, MPB began preparing for program cuts after the Rescissions Act of 2025 eliminated $1.1 billion in previously approved federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which supports PBS, NPR, and over 1,500 local public stations. This came after July 24, 2025, discussions with MPB Executive Director Royal Ailes, who highlighted Congress's approval to reclaim $9.1 billion from the federal budget, including the funding earmarked for NPR and PBS, leading MPB to reevaluate its operational mission.
