Milwaukee PBS – A community resource

The MATC District Board is the license holder for Milwaukee PBS, WMVS and WMVT, and digital channels 10.1 - 10.3 and 36.1 - 36.3.

The station produces several ongoing local series and airs specials and mini-series throughout the year, in addition to noncommercial education and entertainment programs. Milwaukee PBS: • Has an average of 627,770 weekly viewers • Reaches as far south as northern Illinois, west into Jefferson County and north into Sheboygan and Fond du Lac counties

Since 1979, public-private partnerships have been formed through the MATC Foundation Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, to raise funds for student scholarships, emergency grants and educational programs that address the workforce development needs of the community. These initiatives cannot be supported through government funding alone, which has not kept pace with rising costs.

The MATC Foundation manages more than 200 endowment and temporarily restricted funds totaling $12 million, annually supports Milwaukee PBS with $275,000 in endowment earnings, and annually awards more than $1.1 million in scholarship support and more than $100,000 in student emergency grants.
