This is all part of PBS Reno’s commitment to continue to make trusted content that Entertains Your Curiosity.”
Back in May, PBS announced the partnership in which participating PBS stations reaching audiences in more the 300 markets and cities across the country would become available on Hulu + Live TV in the following months, with the full launch slated for completion by the end of 2023. The agreement represents a continued commitment from PBS to make its quality and award-earning content accessible to all Americans on as many digital platforms as possible.
“We are so pleased that PBS has entered into this agreement with Hulu,” said Kurt Mische, PBS Reno President and CEO. “Locally it provides that much more access for viewers who use this popular platform. At PBS Reno, we want to be available anywhere and everywhere at any time on any device our viewers choose to use.”
