The Nine Network of Public Media is a multifaceted organization creating networks of individuals and organizations empowered by public media to strengthen our region. One of the nation's most watched public television stations, Nine presents outstanding local and national content on four distinct broadcast channels--Nine PBS, Nine World, Nine Create and Nine Kids--reaching 100 counties in Missouri and Illinois. Much of the Nine Network's on-air content is also available online at nineNet.org. As our region's storyteller, the Nine Network highlights local achievements and engages individuals and partner organizations to raise awareness and understanding on important issues. Topics of particular focus include education, healthcare, the environment, the economy, science and the arts. The Nine Network is nationally recognized for community engagement and has become a model for public television stations across the country. In 2011 the Corporation for Public Broadcasting selected the Nine Network to lead American Graduate, a long-term local and national initiative with the goal of achieving a 90% graduation rate by 2020. The initiative involves more than 50 local partner organizations and more than 1000 partner organizations nationwide. Community-supported since its founding in 1954, the Nine Network is true to its mission of bringing St. Louis together as it connects our region with the world and the world to St. Louis. Nine marks its 60th birthday in 2014 with the opening of an innovative outdoor public media commons with large-scale video walls, interactive screens and a performance stage that invites the community to share creative experiences.
