A solar or sun transit outage is an electromagnetic phenomenon wherein a station downlink is temporarily unable to receive a satellite signal due to interference from the sun as it passes behind the satellite. (See illustration below.)

Solar outages occur on a predictable schedule and affect downlinks in the U.S. for about five consecutive days, for as much as six minutes a day, twice each year.

Parents Overwhelmingly Agree No Other Media Brand Meets Their Children's School Readiness Needs Like PBS KIDS

West Virginia PBS airs 11 hours of PBS KIDS programs each weekday and serves children and their families statewide through its Ready To Learn service.

Nationwide Research Confirms that PBS and Member Stations are America's Most Trusted Institution and an "Excellent" Use of Tax Dollars for 11th Consecutive Year.

During a time of significant increase in broadcast audience numbers and growing reach on digital platforms, PBS and its member stations were again named #1 in trust among nationally known institutions, and called an “excellent” use of tax dollars by the American public in a national poll for the 11th year in a row.

We realize that many viewers continue to have problems with WV PBS.

We ARE working on the problem and we thank you for your patience as we implement the solution.

Lately, many of our viewers, particularly those who are Suddenlink cable customers, are experiencing frequent reception issues with WV PBS. These issues include garbled audio, pictures breaking up and pictures freezing. We sincerely apologize for these irritations.

Thanks! 

We collected 531 books for children K-12 during the 2014 Happy Valentine's Day Children's Book Drive.

Employees of West Virginia Public Broadcasting and community members dropped off new and gently used books to our three offices in Morgantown, Beckley and Charleston as part of this annual drive conducted in partnership with The Charleston Gazette, the Children’s Home Society and Read Aloud West Virginia.

Thanks to everyone who helped make this a success!
