Texas Tech Public Media is the public television and radio group owned by Texas Tech University. It operates KTTZ-TV, the PBS member station for Lubbock and the South Plains, which signed on October 16, 1962 as KTXT-TV, and since 2019 it has run PBS El Paso, KCOS. On radio it operates KTTZ-FM 89.1, the NPR station for Lubbock, and KNCH in San Angelo. Over the years the stations have been branded Lubbock Public Television, South Plains Public Television, KTTZ-TV and PBS Y'all before taking the Texas Tech Public Media name.
The stations carry PBS, Create and PBS Kids on television and NPR news and music on radio, with local programming that the group says is meant to educate, inform and inspire the communities it serves. Studios and the transmitter tower are on the Texas Tech campus at 18th Street and Indiana Avenue in Lubbock, and PBS El Paso has its own station manager.
