Whois & Analysis for lpb.org

Louisiana Public Broadcasting (LPB) is a state network of PBS member stations serving the state of Louisiana.

The stations are operated by the Louisiana Educational Television Authority.

The network serves most of the state outside of Greater New Orleans: that market's PBS member station, WYES-TV is the only PBS station in Louisiana which is not associated with LPB; a noncommercial independent station in that market, WLAE-TV is 50% owned by LPB and carries some of the state network's programming, primarily news and public affairs (though WLAE also carried select PBS programming until 2013).

Louisiana Public Broadcasting's studio facilities and offices are located in Baton Rouge.

The Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) is an American public broadcaster and television program distributor.

Headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, PBS is an independently operated non-profit organization and is the most prominent provider of television programming to public television stations in the United States, distributing series such as Keeping Up Appearances, BBC World News, NOVA scienceNOW, NOVA, Barney and Friends, Arthur, Sesame Street, PBS NewsHour, Walking with Dinosaurs, Masterpiece, Nature, American Masters, Frontline, and Antiques Roadshow.

In the broadcasting industry (particularly in North America), a network affiliate or affiliated station is a local broadcaster, owned by a company other than the owner of the network, which carries some or all of the lineup of television programs or radio programs of a television or radio network.

This distinguishes such a television or radio station from an owned-and-operated station (O&O), which is owned by the parent network.
