Seattle's Cascade PBS is the lead agency on the Local Streaming Initiative. But we are not going this alone.
An advisory board of station partners helps steer the project.
In the future, we hope to be co-owned by multiple stations, so we remain true to our mission of putting local stations in control of their own destiny.
Station partners & clients
The following stations helped fund our national platform build-out, and sit on the LSI advisory board (which will help shape the future of the project).
System partners
The LSI is built atop PBS infrastructure (Passport, Media Manager, etc.), and the service is available only to PBS member stations in good standingThe Programming Service provides programming support for over 50 local PBS stations across the country covering 51% of US TV Households. They have joined the LSI to manage show metadata and to create/manage default national programming lineups which any LSI station can use in "Autopilot" modeCommunity Development Partnership (CDP) is an independent public benefit corporation working on behalf of more than 230 public radio and television stations to share data across the system, analyze fundraising performance, and develop best practices.
