About OPB

OPB is proud to serve the wonderful communities in Oregon and Southwest Washington for eight decades. Since our beginning in 1922, we've grown significantly from our roots as a radio broadcaster on the campus of Oregon State University. Today OPB is a successful membership organization, a public broadcaster of radio and television, a content producer and distributor for television, radio and the web, as well as a statewide resource service for teachers and educators.

Our mission has always been to provide life-long learning opportunities for the people in our communities. OPB is continuing to develop new ways to bring information to people through our traditional broadcasting services and newer distribution sources available through the Internet, including audio and video streaming, and digital broadcasting. OPB is committed to bringing audiences trusted, well-informed, in-depth coverage of important issues as well as entertaining programming that makes a positive difference in people's lives.
