The mission of PBS Hawaii is to inform, inspire, and entertain by sharing high quality programming and services that add value to our diverse island community.

As a longstanding member of the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), PBS Hawaii has a rich history of presenting groundbreaking series like Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood, Masterpiece Theatre, Nova, and Great Performances. A variety of important locally and/or PBS Hawaii-produced productions have been televised alongside these exceptional programs, many of which have received regional and national awards. No other organization in Hawai'i provides this caliber of instructional and cultural programming. PBS Hawaii's shows inspire, enlighten, and educate. Befittingly, PBS Hawaii is available to a remarkable 98% of Hawai'i's population at no cost to viewers.
