KOPB

KOPB is a call sign used by Oregon Public Broadcasting's flagship public media outlets serving the Portland, Oregon area. It comprises KOPB-TV, the television service, and KOPB-FM, the radio service. Both outlets are part of OPB, a non-profit regional public media organization.

KOPB-TV is a PBS member station that broadcasts national PBS programming alongside local news, public affairs, and educational programming for the region. KOPB-FM broadcasts NPR and other public radio programming, including news, talk, and music formats.

OPB networks provide local coverage of Oregon news and cultural programming, and they operate digital platforms and streaming services to reach audiences beyond traditional broadcasts. The organization emphasizes educational content for schools and families and collaborates with community partners to expand access to public media.

Funding for KOPB and OPB comes from viewer and listener contributions, corporate underwriting, and government support, with additional support from grants and foundations. The service is governed by a board of directors and a management team that set priorities and ensure journalistic and educational standards.

The KOPB stations serve the Portland metropolitan area and communities across Oregon, and they extend their reach through online streaming, on-demand content, podcasts, and partnerships with schools, libraries, and other public institutions. As part of the national PBS and public radio ecosystems, KOPB contributes regional reporting and educational programming to a broader audience.
