Original Productions from Smoky Hills PBS

At Smoky Hills PBS, we’re proud to produce and share programs that celebrate the people, places, and stories of Kansas. From history and culture to music, arts, and community life, our local productions shine a spotlight on what makes our state unique. These are programs created for Kansans, by Kansans — telling the stories you won’t find anywhere else.

Kansas Stories We’re Proud to Share

In addition to our own productions, Smoky Hills PBS is proud to carry a variety of locally produced Kansas programs created by our partners across the state. These series highlight the people, culture, history, and communities that make Kansas unique — giving viewers even more ways to connect with and celebrate our region.
