That’s how it looks. After June 30, 2026, there won’t be anymore National PBS programming on the airwaves in Arkansas. And with so much content already being sold off to Netflix, Amazon, and the like, expect Passport to either be disabled, or stripped of all national programming as well.

The name change from Arkansas PBS to Arkansas TV came straight from the Governor’s office and is rooted in their plans to strip educational programming from publicly accessed television. Due to disaffiliation, programming that enriches all ages will leave the station.

Arkansas PBS will become the largest (so far) PBS affiliate in the country to disaffiliate. This is a move that is unwanted by the public that has supported public television for decades.

The Arkansas PBS Commission has to provide 180 day notice to national PBS, so the programming will continue through to June 30, 2026. However, as of July 1, 2026, PBS programming will be off the air in Arkansas.

More coddling to the Trump regime. As of today, we have worked with our sources and know that there are other states with this kind of action in mind.
