Arizona Public Media

Arizona Public Media (AZPM) is the University of Arizona's public media service in Tucson, operating PBS 6 (KUAT-TV), NPR 89.1 (KUAZ) and Classical 90.5 (KUAT-FM) for southern Arizona, with local news, original productions and education services.

Arizona Public Media (AZPM) is the editorially independent, not-for-profit public media service of the University of Arizona in Tucson. Its broadcast licenses are held by the Arizona Board of Regents. KUAT-TV, PBS 6, began regular programming in 1959 as the first public television station in Arizona; KUAT-FM 90.5 split off as a classical service in 1975, and KUAZ 89.1 FM and AM carry NPR news and talk with jazz and the BBC World Service on HD channels. Translators extend the radio services to Nogales, Sierra Vista, Bisbee and Safford, and the organization adopted the Arizona Public Media umbrella name in 2008.

AZPM produces local news and original television and radio programs that have earned regional Emmy and NETA awards, runs AZPM Passport and live streams, podcasts and educational services, and holds community listening sessions across southern Arizona. It is funded by members, business underwriting, fee-for-service production and university support, and is building the Paul and Alice Baker Center for Public Media south of campus as its new home. Its mission is to be a trusted source of content and educational services that supports an informed public.

AZPM employs more than 100 people, led by chief executive officer Jack Gibson, across news and journalism, television and radio production, programming and audience engagement, education, engineering and technology, underwriting and membership, marketing and administration. Staff are University of Arizona employees with university benefits, including tuition reduction, and openings are posted on the university's Talent careers site.
