Due to water damage at our transmitter facility following severe storms, our over-the-air broadcast signal is currently disrupted.
Broadcast Signal Update | August 28, 2026
Our coverage area’s signal quality is drastically reduced while we wait on repair parts to arrive in mid-October. Only then will our full coverage area receive a steady signal.
In the meantime, you can still watch Ball State PBS using the following options:
Watch our broadcast in real time on the Ball State PBS Live-stream page at ballstatepbs.org/livestream

Download the Ball State Public Media App (Google Play & Apple App Store) or the standard PBS App on your smart TV or mobile device: apps.apple.com/us/app/ball-state-public-media/id1628426300
Access extended on-demand viewing for contributing members with Ball State PBS Passport at ballstatepbs.org/passportComcast is operating normally! Comcast receives our signal through a direct fiber-optic feed, so service remains unaffected.
Thank you for your patience and support while our engineering team works to restore full coverage!
Broadcast Signal Update | August 18, 2026
We are happy to announce that our over-the-air signal is back up, however we are operating at low power.
This means that viewers on the outskirts of our signal may still not be able to receive our broadcast signal. Our team is still actively working to get us back up to full power.
