South Dakota Public Broadcasting

South Dakota Public Broadcasting (SDPB) is South Dakota's statewide public broadcasting network, operated by the South Dakota Bureau of Information and Technology, the state agency that holds the licenses for the state's PBS and NPR member stations. Headquarters are in the Al Neuharth Media Center on the University of South Dakota campus in Vermillion, with studios and offices in Sioux Falls and Rapid City. Radio in the network dates to 1922 and the television network signed on in 1961.

SDPB Television airs on nine stations from KUSD in Vermillion to KBHE in Rapid City and produces more than 150 hours of local programming a year, including the monthly magazine Dakota Life, coverage of the South Dakota Legislature and the South Dakota High School Activities Association championships. SDPB Radio broadcasts 24 hours a day on twelve stations with NPR, APM, PRX and BBC programs and 15 hours a week of local programming. SDPB.org carries the program archive, live streams and the education and outreach resources the network offers to schools and families. Friends of SDPB is the separate nonprofit that raises funds for the network.

As a state agency, SDPB hires through the South Dakota Bureau of Human Resources and Administration. All openings, from producers, reporters and hosts to engineers, educators, marketing and development staff, are posted on the state's Work for Us portal at bhr.sd.gov.
